Tottenham Hotspur striker Vincent Janssen appears to have no future with the club.
The summer transfer window is still over three months away, but many are already looking towards the market re-opening and some of the deals which could go through.
Some failed January deals could be resurrected this summer, and the Daily Star recently claimed that Newcastle United want to renew their interest in signing Feyenoord striker Nicolai Jorgensen having failed to land him last month.
Sky Sports reported that Newcastle’s £15million bid for Jorgensen was rejected in January, but with manager Rafael Benitez still keen on a striker, Jorgensen should still be on Newcastle’s radar ahead of the summer.
The Danish international, 27, hit 21 goals last season and has found the net nine times this term, with Feyenoord standing firm to keep him at the club in January even after bringing club hero Robin van Persie back to De Kuip.
A summer move could still happen though, and one pundit has suggested an ideal replacement for Jorgensen if Feyenoord do decide to cash in during the summer transfer window.
As quoted by Turks Voetbal, Dutch pundit Hans Kraay Jr – also the manager of FC Lienden – has suggested that Feyenoord should target Tottenham Hotspur striker Vincent Janssen as a replacement for Jorgensen, if they can tempt him back to Rotterdam.
Janssen, 23, spent four years with Feyenoord as a youth player, and in truth, may need a return to the Netherlands to re-invigorate his career, having gone from a 31-goal campaign with AZ Alkmaar in 2015-16 to the Tottenham scrapheap and an uneventful loan with Fenerbahce.
Kraay Jr’s suggestion would really be ideal for both Newcastle and Spurs; Newcastle would land the striker they wanted so badly last month, whilst Spurs can offload a player who has made zero impact under Mauricio Pochettino – but whether both deals can be worked out is another matter.
