Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech in the past.
Now, speculation linking Spurs with the Morocco international has started doing the rounds again.
According to AS Roma Live, Tottenham are one of the clubs eyeing Ziyech ahead of the summer window.
The report from Sunday said that, ‘in the last few hours’, Spurs had sent out ‘symbols of appreciation’ for him.
Tottenham could potentially land a bargain too, as Chelsea have apparently given him a £18million price tag.
As well as Spurs, Roma and Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with Ziyech ahead of the transfer window.
Ziyech is a good shout for Tottenham.
He’s an incredibly talented player with plenty of experience at the highest level.
Ziyech has struggled for game time at Chelsea and he could do with a change of scenery.
‘We love everything’
At the World Cup, we were all reminded of the 29-year-old’s quality.
“Ziyech is one of the best players in the world, if he’s at 100 per cent,” Franck Leboeuf told ESPN last year.
“We love everything, his finesse, his finishing, everything, his crosses.
“He didn’t show that yet for Chelsea and we are still looking for it.
“But if the World Cup can launch his secondary career, we would love that at Chelsea.”
Things haven’t quite gone to plan for Ziyech at Chelsea since then, and Tottenham could well benefit.
The Blues will no doubt be willing to let him leave in summer, so Spurs should have no problem in negotiations.
