Tottenham backed to beat PSG to Hakim Ziyech signing after source’s reveal – pundit
Frank McAvennie has told Hakim Ziyech to join Tottenham ahead of Paris Saint-Germain.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former West Ham striker said that although PSG is a “better prospect”, Ziyech is more likely to be a regular starter at Spurs.
Last week (9 April), sources told this site that the Lilywhites have registered their interest in the Chelsea winger who has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge this season.
Football Insider also revealed (7 April), that PSG are set to rekindle their interest in signing the 30-year-old after a deal to take the winger on loan fell through at the eleventh hour in January.
The Blues are believed to be willing to accept bids of around £20million for the Morocco international, £18m less than the initial fee they paid to Ajax in 2020.
When asked which club Ziyech should join this summer, McAvennie told Football Insider: “PSG is a wonderful club, they are super rich and France is a wonderful place but so is London.
“I think when players come from abroad they want to stay in London. Even the boys from London want to stay there.
“PSG is great but is he going to get in the team? There is only so many sightseeing trips you can do, you want to play.
“If he thinks he can go and fight for a place at PSG then he should go there.
“It is a better prospect than Tottenham but he probably has more chance of being a regular at Tottenham. So he has got to weigh it up.“
