Tottenham fans will have to brace themselves over the next year or so as transfer rumours will come thick and fast. One of those rumours is yet to properly solidify, but the latest news is that Rafael Van der Vaart has claimed to have texted Daniel Levy telling him to sign Ajax’s Hakim Ziyech (Sky Sports).
Rafael Van der Vaart has told Daniel Levy to sign Hakim Ziyech, who has 6 goals and 9 assists this season, and is valued at €40m.
“I really hope he goes to Tottenham Hotspur, I sent a message today to Levy, I said: Get Ziyech after this season”

The Ajax midfield man is a wonderful talent, and you don’t have to show Tottenham fans any highlight reels seeing as they’ve already seen him at his blistering best, as he scored a wonderful goal against the Lilywhites in that famous 3-2 win the North London side recorded in Amsterdam.
However, with Christian Eriksen’s contract expiring at the end of the season (Transfermarkt) and Levy and Mauricio Pochettino likely to start looking for a new #10 to fill the creative void, it could be a safe bet to go with Van der Vaart’s advice and sign Ziyech, who scored 21 and assisted 24 throughout the 2018/19 season (Transfermarkt).
You can see what the Lilywhites made of the Ziyech news here:
He had a 25M buy out clause, BAFFLES me we didn’t attempt that. We bought aurier same amount

He’ll be 27 in march 2020 perfect time to buy him since he’s entering his peak years

I am convinced that he becomes a sensation in London and I also wish him that.
I hope Spurs takes him and we will see.”Agent Rafa van der Vaart #THFC pic.twitter.com/QAmUCWHH8V

The supporters quite clearly love the idea of poaching Ziyech, and who can blame them given his creative output.
