Tottenham have been urged to sign the Chelsea midfielder Hakim Ziyech.
The 29-year-old Moroccan international has had a tough time since his move to Stamford Bridge and he could use a change.
Former Tottenham star Rafael van der Vaart has now claimed that Spurs should look to provide the attacking midfielder with an exit route. He believes that Ziyech would be a quality addition to Antonio Conte’s side and he could help them win the Premier League title.
He said (h/t Metro): “Hakim Ziyech has to join Tottenham. If Tottenham get Hakim Ziyech, they could win the Premier League. I am serious.”
Ziyech was an outstanding player for Ajax before joining Spurs and he has proven his quality in the Dutch league and in the Champions League. The Moroccan’s quality is beyond doubt and a fresh start could help him resurrect his career.
Spurs could definitely use more creativity in their side and Ziyech seems like a good fit for them. He is versatile enough to operate in a number of attacking roles and Conte will benefit from his versatility.
Ziyech would add flair, creativity, and goals in the final third. His ability to execute the final pass makes him an asset, especially if you have players like Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min, who are exceptional finishers.
Spurs were linked with Nicolo Zaniolo and Christian Eriksen in the summer but they did not manage to address the lack of creativity in the middle. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to solve that problem with the signing of Ziyech.
Given his lack of importance at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea might just be willing to cash in on him for the right price.
Gotta love Rafa !!!!!! Cant be more over the top than that statement .
I’m a big Ziyech fan , but not in my most vivid imagination does he turn us into City – topplers — but it would be a decent start !!
With the loss of Sonny , I really hope his World Cup isn’t over , a top class signing is even more imperative .
The last 16 Ch. League and 3rd in the Prem would have been very acceptable in August despite very indifferent form , we just need someone to “light up The Lane ” in that final 3rd and make us a force to be reckoned with . C O Y S …………..!!!!!!!!!!!
