Tottenham have been urged to sign Hakim Ziyech.
Hakim Ziyech demonstrated at the weekend why he would be a major asset for Tottenham Hotspur.
Ex Spurs hero Rafael van der Vaart revealed a fortnight ago that he has advised Tottenham chairman to sign Ziyech.
Van der Vaart told Voetbal Primeur: “I really hope he goes to Tottenham Hotspur, and I think so. I sent a message today to Levy. I said: get Ziyech after this season. I am convinced that he becomes a sensation in London.”
Ziyech’s record last season of 21 goals and 24 assists in all competitions speaks for itself.
And he added to his portfolio with an outstanding performance at the weekend as he inspired a 4-2 away victory for Ajax over PEC Zwolle.
Ziyech provided two assists, starring in the number 10 role behind Dusan Tadic, who was playing up front.
Widemen Quincy Promes and David Neres scored the goals, two each, with Ziyech pulling the strings.
Ziyech created six chances, the rest of the Ajax side managed nine combined.
It was the type of performance which will have convinced clubs to spend big on him in the upcoming transfer window.
Tottenham should not ignore the Moroccan, who at present is everything Christian Eriksen is not.
Former Ajax ace Eriksen has lost his mojo. He is unable to influence games, and Tottenham are making a mistake by continuing to pick him.
Van der Vaart’s advice to Levy was smart. Ziyech has six goals and eight assists already this season.
He would be perfect for Tottenham, and Spurs need to be proactive enough to go and get him in January.
