Tottenham great Rafael van der Vaart has urged his former club to sign Ajax midfield sensation Hakim Ziyech.
And ex-Holland star VdV said he has sent a personal message to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy telling him to snap up the Morocco international next summer.
He scored in Ajax’s 4-0 win over arch-rivals Feyenoord on Sunday.
Afterwards Van der Vaart said: “I really hope that Ziyech goes to Tottenham Hotspur, and I mean it.
“I sent Daniel Levy a message earlier today. I told him to get Ziyech once the season is over.
“I am convinced that he will be a sensation in London, and I also hope he gets a move over there.”
Ziyech appeared to cut a surly figure after being substituted late in the game.
Van der Vaart, speaking to Dutch broadcaster NOS, added: “That would make no difference to me if I was his manager.
“You know how clubs think. They always want players who are ideal son-in-law material.
“But as far as I’m concerned, what could go wrong? He would sell out the stadium.
“I hope Spurs sign him, and say: ‘Let’s see what happens with him.’”
