Tottenham Hotspur wants to strengthen their forward group, and after striking out on Adama Traore and Luis Diaz, Spurs are reportedly set to land Dejan Kulusevski.
However, former Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Rafael van der Vaart has advised the north London club to move for Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech in the final few days of the January transfer window.
“I’ve been saying that for some time now, but I believe Ziyech is the type of player who could make a big impact in the current Spurs team,” van der Vaart said to The Times.
“With a playmaker like him, chances are things will start to go much better. Then Son doesn’t have to go deep to collect the ball, and Kane can just remain up front as a striker as well because they miss someone who can feed them those balls. Now they have to work too hard.”
Ziyech has made 24 total appearances this season for Chelsea, scoring six goals and four assists for The Blues. The 28-year-old is under contract until 2025, but the Premier League rival could be open to letting the Morroco international depart.
Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele is linked to a move to Chelsea, but to make room for the France international, they might want to sell some players, including Ziyech.
Should The Blues make the winger available, then there’s no doubt van der Vaart will want to see his former club do everything in their power to land Ziyech.
