Former Dutch international Rafael Van Der Vaart advised Tottenham to sign Moroccan star Hakim Ziyech.

Van der Vaart said in a press statement that the way Tottenham play is ideal to Ziyech’s capabilities, and he will be an influential player in the plan of Italian coach Antonio Conte.

“I think there are some missing links for me. I have always said that they are missing a player in the classic attacking midfield position No. 10, and Ziyech is the right man for this position.” said Van Der Vaart

He added, “Ziyech is not happy at Chelsea, and I am a big fan of his. If Tottenham signed him, their problems would be solved. I don’t think they need more after that.”

The Moroccan player was close to moving to Paris Saint-Germain during the last winter transfers, but administrative problems hindered the deal at the last moments.

Ziyech has a contract with Chelsea that extends until the summer of 2025, but the player and the club agree on his departure.
