On more than one occasion former Tottenham hero Rafael van der Vaart has suggested his old club should sign Hakim Ziyech. The Moroccan joined Chelsea in a £33.6million deal in the summer of 2020 instead, however.
Van Der Vaart, who spent two successful seasons in north London with Spurs would have loved his old club sign him from his other old club, instead of Chelsea. Speaking in 2020 the Dutchman said: "Still a bit heart broken our MVP is leaving Ajax and Dutch football, to have seen him in a Spurs shirt would have softened my misery."
Ziyech has struggled to assert himself in a Chelsea shirt since his move to London, starting just 30 Premier League games in two-and-a-half seasons at Stamford Bridge. He has played under three managers in that time, which will not have helped, but none have shown sufficient faith in him.
