Young Dutch midfielder Hakim Ziyech has had a bucket of praise poured over him by Heerenveen team-mate Alfred Finnbogason, who has tipped him for the very, very pinnacle of the game.
The 20-year-old has impressed with Heerenveen this term, even being labelled the "new Mesut Ozil" in some quarters due to his highly creative displays in the Eredivisie.

Finnbogason is one of the main beneficiaries of Ziyech's fine form and the Icelander has bagged 23 goals in just 24 Eredivisie games so far this season.
And it is little surprise therefore that Finnbogason is raving about the Holland Under-21 international.

"His limit is higher than the top of the Dutch game", the striker explained to De Telegraaf.
"I am convinced, because I do not doubt Hakim's quality.
"And he is 100 per cent sure of himself."
Ziyech's contract at Heerenveen expires in the summer of 2015 and the Dutch side may have a battle on their hands keeping him at the club for a longer spell.
