Former Feyenoord striker Roy Makaay expects rumoured Tottenham target Santiago Gimenez to leave De Kuip during the January transfer window.
Gimenez has been one of the most prolific strikers in Europe since the start of the calendar year, with his goals being a crucial reason behind Feyenoord’s historic Eredivisie triumph last season.
