Tottenham have been linked with a January move for Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech in the January transfer window.
It is rare for a player to move between the two clubs because of the enmity between the two fan bases, so such a transfer would be highly controversialto say the least.
However, that Ziyech wants to leave Stamford Bridge seems beyond doubt. He has started just one Premier League game this season and is looking to restart his once promising career.
AC Milan were reported to be interested in him during the summer, and, although ion the end that failed to crystallise, there have been suggestions that they may also be looking to revisit the issue when the January window opens.
In truth, it has never really happened for Ziyech in West London, although injuries have not helped.
Frank Lampard’s first signing as manager, he struggled for game time under his successor, Thomas Tuchel, and Graham Potters appears similarly unconvinced by him.
