The Tottenham Hotspur striker has been linked with Stoke City recently.

It has been an eye-opening last year for Tottenham Hotspur striker Vincent Janssen.

This time 12 months ago, the Dutchman, a £17 million signing, was gearing up for his first season in the Premier League following a goal-laden spell with AZ Alkmaar.

Fast forward a year and the 23-year-old is now reportedly a Stoke City target.

According to The Daily Mail, Stoke, as well as West Brom, are interested in signing the Tottenham flop, who scored two goals from open play in 38 games last season.

As a result of his goalscoring woes, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is ready to cut his losses and cash in on the Netherlands international, but some Stoke fans on Twitter don’t seem overly keen on the prospect of seeing Janssen in the Potteries this season.

Janssen is a good goalscorer, evident by the fact he scored 27 times in 34 Eredivisie appearances for AZ, but that was in the Netherlands and whether he can be a prolific figure in England’s top flight is another matter entirely.

He is, however, quite decent for his country, having managed seven goals in 13 caps, and perhaps there is still time for him to prove himself a success in the Premier League.
