Dele Alli Upgrade? Van der Vaart Has Messaged Levy: “Get this player for next season”

Potentially exciting stuff courtesy of VoetbalPrimeUr, carrying quotes from Spurs old boy Rafael van der Vaart relating to a transfer tip.

Hakim Ziyech is a Dutch-Moroccan who plays as an attacking midfielder for Ajax as well as the Morocco national team.

The 26-year-old is a player that Van der Vaart thinks should move to London and join Tottenham.

Hakim would be a brilliant upgrade on Dele Alli. Last season, the left sided midfielder scored 14 times and contributed 16 assists in the Eridivisie.

The timing could be good for Levy. Only a few weeks ago, The Daily Mail aggregated news from AS, saying that Ajax had removed a €26million release clause from the player’s latest contract. Ziyech is one of Erik ten Haag’s Academy stars and the current deal is until 2022.

A recommendation from Van der Vaart one would imagine is one that Daniel Levy would take seriously.

Tottenham need fresh faces, players who can win trophies. This boy fits that bill.
