Former Tottenham star Rafael van der Vaart has urged his old club to move for Chelsea attacker Hakim Ziyech.

Van der Vaart revealed how highly he rates Ziyech with his bold assessment.

While appearing on Ziggo Sport, he said: "Hakim Ziyech has to join Tottenham.

"If Tottenham get Hakim Ziyech, they could win the Premier League. I am serious."

Ziyech was previously linked with a transfer to Spurs over the summer.

And the Moroccan thus far stayed put at Chelsea despite also being linked with Manchester United and even a move to AC Milan.

Van der Vaart added: "Of course, he never really has a smiley face, but now you can see from everything that he is not having a good time.

"I hope he goes to a club where he can just play and not worry about anything else.

"Ziyech is a boy that always has to play when you get him. When you get players, you buy them not only for their footballing qualities but also for how someone is."
