The Tottenham Hotspur striker desperately needs to move clubs this month.

Tottenham star Vincent Janssen’s agent Patrick van Diemen admitted his frustration at being unable to secure a move away from north London for his client, when speaking exclusively to Dutch media outlet Omroep Brabant.

The 24-year-old joined Spurs from AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2016, for around £17 million, but he has failed to establish himself in north London, scoring just six goals for the club.

Mauricio Pochettino insisted earlier this month that the striker does not feature in his plans (Football.London), and considering the fact that he is not even being used during Harry Kane’s absence, his days at Tottenham are surely numbered.

Janssen’s agent Patrick van Diemen explained how frustrating it has been for him, when speaking exclusively to Dutch media outlet Omroep Brabant, as he continues his attempt to find a new club for the Holland international:

“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.”

Janssen does possess talent – his time in Holland proved what he is capable of, but it does seem as though he is just not cut out for the Premier League, what with its ferocious pace and intensity.

Whether he can find a new club before the transfer window slams shut on Thursday, however, remains to be seen.
