Vincent Janssen’s days at Tottenham Hotspur look numbered.

If rumours are believed, Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino will include Kazaiah Sterling in his matchday squad for tomorrow’s trip to Fulham.

According to Football London, Pochettino pulled Sterling from a Spurs Under-23 game with the intention of naming him in the 18 tomorrow afternoon.

If true, it will confirm something we already suspect: the Spurs boss has absolutely no intention of bringing Vincent Janssen back into the fold and the Dutchman needs to find a new club.

Pochettino wouldn’t name both Sterling and Janssen on the bench, with Fernando Llorente likely to spearhead the attack in the absence of injured striker Harry Kane.

It looks like the Argentine will prioritise by putting 20-year-old Sterling, a striker with zero Premier League experience, on the bench ahead of the former AZ Alkmaar hitman and if that doesn’t tell Janssen all he needs to know then nothing will.

The 24-year-old, a £17 million signing in 2016 [The Mirror], has been at Tottenham all season after returning from a season-long loan at Fenerbahce, but hasn’t kicked a ball due to injury.

And if Sterling is picked ahead of him tomorrow, he’ll probably never kick another ball for the Lilywhites.
