Tottenham Hotspur fans have been left pleased by Mauricio Pochettino’s comments on Vincent Janssen.

Janssen surprisingly stuck around at Spurs over the January transfer window, as the club failed to find him a new side.

And it seems that Pochettino may now give Janssen one last chance to prove his worth at Tottenham.

He said to Football.London today: “When we now have two free places, with GK Nkoudou going to Monaco and Dembele to China, he’s going to be on the list. That is my decision, that he’s going to be involved with the first team from today.”

The news has gone down well with Tottenham fans, who feel that the Dutch international deserves his opportunity.

Janssen has not played for Tottenham since 2017, so it would be a remarkable turnaround if he managed to break back into Pochettino’s team.

Tottenham are short of options up-front right now, with Harry Kane out injured.

Fernando Llorente has been backed to start by Pochettino, and the Spaniard’s scoring record has been strong, but his performances have raised some question marks.

Tottenham are next in action tomorrow, when they take on Newcastle United at Wembley.
