Janssen when quizzed about a possible move away by Dutch outlet NOS replied (as reported by Football-Orange), “You’re never happy with [being a backup], everyone wants to play, but the situation is so”.
“If I’m staying? I do not want to say too much about it at the moment. I want to focus on the Netherlands, The other questions I leave for later”, he concluded.
Although that might not have been an outright statement expressing his desire to leave, it is worth noting that he didn’t commit his future to North London, with Janssen linked with a move to Stoke City, West Brom and Crystal Palace by the Sun this week.

Stoke City are in the market for another striker option, which would ideally complete their squad as Mark Hughes looks to better their 13th placed finish in the League last season.
West Brom are also desperately in need of a forward who’ll regularly put the ball in the back of the net, with Solomon Rondon starting the season in underwhelming fashion. in the League.
Janssen arrived from Dutch side AZ after having a brilliant season in the Eredivisie where he was awarded the Johan Cruyff Trophy (Dutch Talent of the year). However, things haven’t exactly gone to plan since his move to Tottenham.

The international has struggled for goals during his time at Tottenham and made just 7 starts in the League last term, scoring two goals. The fact Harry Kane is his primary competition doesn’t simplify matters as well for the Dutchman, with the homegrown talent picking up the Golden Boot last season in the Premier League.
This season, Janssen could potentially be an important player at Tottenham given Spurs are expected to challenge on two fronts, but he needs to improve his goal output whoever he turns out for. The north London club has a big decision on their hands.
