Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rafael van der Vaart is keen to make his first ever appearance at Wembley this season.

Rafael van der Vaart is keen to help Tottenham Hotspur reach the FA Cup semi-final this season.

An injury ruled Van der Vaart out of Holland's recent friendly match against England, meaning that he has never appeared at Wembley.

Speaking ahead of his side's quarter-final meeting with Bolton Wanderers this weekend, the 29-year-old revealed that he is eager to play at the "special stadium".

"Wembley is a special stadium and because I missed the friendly against England I've never played there," Van der Vaart told the club's official website.

"It's always difficult in the FA Cup, but we will play at home against Bolton so we'll be strong and we have a good chance of making the semi-finals and playing at Wembley."

Van der Vaart joined Spurs in 2010 from Real Madrid.
