Tottenham are reportedly open to selling Vincent Janssen.

Tottenham Hotspur are open to cashing in on Vincent Janssen if they can recoup the £17 million they spent on him, according to The Mirror.

Lazio and Marseille are reportedly keen on the striker, who signed for Spurs from AZ Alkmaar in 2016.

Janssen struggled in his opening season at Tottenham, stuck behind Harry Kane, and failed to seize his chance when the England international was out injured.

Spurs have rejected loan enquiries for Janssen, but are reportedly open to offers.

This goes against a report in The Mail that head coach Mauricio Pochettino had decided to keep Janssen for one more season.

It suggests Spurs are keeping their options open should a decent offer arrive for Janssen, who finished the 2015/16 season as the Eredivisie’s top goalscorer.

The Mirror report Tottenham are keen on signing Lazio’s Keita Balde, who can play on the wing and up front.

Towards the end of last season Mauricio Pochettino preferred to pick Heung-Min Son as a striker than Janssen, with the Netherlands international ending the campaign with just two Premier League goals.
