Tottenham Hotspur loanee Vincent Janssen’s nightmare 2018 is finally looking up.

Janssen is currently on loan at Turkish side Fenerbahce after he was made surplus to requirements at Spurs after just one year.

But he has not featured since December after suffering a toe injury.

Turkish outlet Haberler report Janssen is making positive progress and is targeting a return against Besiktas on April 19.

The match is the second leg of the semi-final of the Turkish Cup, with the tie poised after a 2-2 draw in the first game.

Janssen has had a miserable loan spell so far, scoring just two goals in 11 league games.

The semi-final would provide him a belated chance to state his case, and perhaps drum up interest from other suitors.

ESPN reported last month that Fenerbahce feared Janssen could miss the rest of the season.
