Tottenham’s Premier League Title Hopes Could Hinge on Ziyech Transfer, Says Van der Vaart

Arrived from Ajax in the summer of 2020 as part of a 35 million euro contract, Hakim Ziyech has failed to establish himself at Stamford Bridge. He only played 14 games out of 38 in the Premier League last season. The Moroccan winger has scored 14 goals in 83 games and won the Champions League (English), the Club World Cup and the Super Cup. Performances that are far from those he had achieved with Ajax and which have actually pushed his club to want to let him go. So far, the Moroccan international has not yet received any interesting offer to leave the Blues.

Former Dutch international Rafael van der Vaart finds him an ideal destination. He believes that the Atlas Lion would feel at home at Tottenham and could help the Spurs win the Premier League. "Hakim Ziyech has to join Tottenham. If Tottenham get Hakim Ziyech, they could win the Premier League. I’m serious," he said on Ziggo Sport. According to this former Ajax player, the Moroccan international is the right candidate for the system of the London club’s coach Antonio Conte.
