Furious PSG claim bizarre Chelsea document gaffe scuppered Ziyech move

Hakim Ziyech's loan move to Paris Saint-Germain from Chelsea has collapsed with Ligue 1 unwilling to ratify the transfer following the late submission of documents. 

PSG lodged an appeal to the Professional Football League (LFP)'s legal committee, alleging that the Stamford Bridge side had initially sent through the incorrect paperwork after the terms of an agreement had been finalised.

When it was flagged, they claim Chelsea sent the right documents twice but without a signature. When the correct version was received, the deadline had already passed.

The LFP met at 10:30am local time on Wednesday morning to study the paperwork and discuss the case. They decided against signing the loan move off.

The French giants are angered by the administrative gaffes which affected their outgoings, like Ismael Gharbi's temporary switch to Nice.

Ziyech had passed his medical and was waiting in Paris on Tuesday to be unveiled.
