Janssen has scored just one goal from open play for Spurs

Kane’s heroics for Tottenham have been nothing short of amazing. However, the club had realised that over dependence on the English striker could make things difficult for them if he gets injured or poached by a bigger team. Spurs brought in highly rated Dutchman Vincent Janssen in an effort to boost their already solid youth crop.

Janssen had been the top scorer in Eredivisie and had been awarded the Johann Cruyff trophy for 2015-16, an award given to talents below the age of 21.

However, all this didn’t count for much after the player failed to make his mark in the absence of Harry Kane who had been out due to an injury. The player has scored a measly 5 goals for the North London club and scored his first goal from open play very recently in March against Millwall in the League cup, the rest being from the penalty spot.

Due to his poor performances, Son has often been preferred over him to start as a striker. Although the manager has repeatedly gone on record to show his support for the Dutch lad, if things don’t improve, Janssen may well be on his way out.
