Rafael van der Vaart has urged former club Tottenham Hotspur to sign Ajax midfielder Hakim Ziyech.

The Morocco international scored 21 goals in 49 appearances across all competitions last season.

"I really hope he goes to Tottenham Hotspur, I sent a message today to [Daniel] Levy, I said: Get Ziyech after this season," Van der Vaart, who has played for both clubs, told NOS.

"I am convinced that he becomes a sensation in London, and I also wish him that.

"I hope Spurs takes him and we will see."
