Former Tottenham star Rafael van der Vaart has revealed he's had contact with his old club about Arne Slot.

The Feyenoord coach is a target for Spurs chairman Daniel Levy as he seeks a new manager after Antonio Conte's departure last month.

"I do know that Tottenham really wants him," Van der Vaart told NOS. "I had contact with Tottenham a long time ago. Or yes, a month ago. They asked what I thought of him.

But you know what I think of him. He squeezed out the maximum; Feyenoord is so stable. Even today, after they found out and partied all week. He takes other teams seriously and just wins.

“Whether I gave the green light when I was asked? A very green light!

“Very green light. Tottenham is a club where I spent two years and I have a good relationship with it. I don't know if they want to get a technical director first and then a trainer. They just lack a good coach and a coach who plays the fun football that Tottenham has always stood for."
