Rafael van der Vaart is said to be joining Real Betis when the transfer window opens, moving from Hamburger, after his current contract expires.

Van Der Vaart seems to have attracted a lot of attention from several clubs around Europe, but opted for a Spanish move.  Sunderland as well as Ajax where thought to be interested in the hugely experienced midfielder, being no stranger to the Premiership playing Spurs in his younger years.
