The Tottenham Hotspur striker has really disappointed since joining the club last summer.

Dutch media outlet Soccer News claim that Turkish giants Galatasaray have reignited their interest in Spurs flop Vincent Janssen, and are prepared to pay €20 million (£17 million) to bring the Dutchman to the club this summer.

The 22-year-old moved to Tottenham from AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2016, for a fee believed to be in the region of £17 million, and despite him being highly-rated in his homeland, he has fallen woefully short of being an able backup to Harry Kane.

Janssen has scored just six goals in 38 appearances for Spurs, with only two of those coming from open play, and Mauricio Pochettino would surely be tempted to cut his losses on the striker.

Soccer News claim that Lazio and Wolfsburg have also shown interest in the Holland international, although it is Galatasaray who are believed to be most keen on prising him away from the Lilywhites.

Pochettino is expected to considerably strengthen his options over the summer, and bringing in another top class striker, whilst moving on Janssen will surely be seen as a dramatic improvement in the forward department.

And if Tottenham can recoup what they paid for the former AZ Alkmaar man, they should not hesitate in showing him the exit door.
