Hamburg coach Thorsten Fink is keen to land Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart.
The Dutch ace is up for sale at Spurs.
"Rafael is a very good player, who would be interesting for us - if we had the money" Fink told Kicker. "But it does not make sense to talk about players who we cannot afford.
"Van der Vaart would fit perfectly in our profile - being 29 years old and because of his playing style, too. Everybody would be happy, the coach, too."
