Vincent Janssen isn’t in Tottenham’s plans.
Mauricio Pochettino has made that as clear as he possibly can, and the Dutchman needs to find a way out of Spurs before the end of the month if he wants to get his career back on track.
The problem is that Spurs are looking for a permanent exit and clubs simply aren’t prepared to take the risk, and pay the level of fee the Premier League would probably want, given the player’s recent history.
Injury problems have provided several hurdles and it’s all creating a transfer frustration.
Patrick van Diemen explained: “They only want to sell Janssen, because he is no longer in the plans of the club. Clubs do come forward, but it doesn’t actually become concrete. The most important thing now is that Janssen will play again.”
There surely has to be a compromise before the window closes, and it’s likely that Tottenham will agree to another loan for the player closer to Thursday’s deadline.
