The unwanted Tottenham Hotspur trio could still be in North London next season.
Mauricio Pochettino has told The Telegraph that Danny Rose, Vincent Janssen and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou are likely to remain at Tottenham Hotspur next season if no transfer has materialised over the nex 10 days.
The Tottenham boss has confirmed that he won’t be taking any of those three players on the club’s pre-season tour of Asia this month.
According to The Mirror, Paris Saint-Germain are interested in left-back Rose, while Dutch hitman Janssen has been linked to Mexican side CF Monterrey in recent days [The Record].
The writing has been on the wall for Nkoudou for a number of years in North London and, if a buyer can be found, it’s obvious that Pochettino would have no problem offloading him too.
But the Spurs manager admitted to The Telegraph that the trio could still be with the Lilywhites next term if nobody comes in for them between now and August.
He said: “Danny is still our player and of course for different reasons Nkoudou and Vincent Janssen they deal with the club, with Daniel the issues to take a little bit of time to fix different problems but personal problems that they need to sort.
“After ten days after we play Man United and Juventus when we come back to London if they are there, they are going to be in a normal way with the team.”
Tottenham fans won’t mind if Rose is there, because the 29-year-old is very popular among supporters, but Janssen and Nkoudou aren’t all that adored by the fanbase.
Both of them are big-time Spurs flops and very few tears will be shed if and when Pochettino axes the duo.
