As reported by The Daily Mirror, Tottenham Hotspur are set to dramatically axe struggling Vincent Janssen just a year after signing with the club.

What's the story?

After signing for a reported deal worth £20m, Janssen has failed to settle into Mauricio Pochettino's first team plans, even in the absence of Harry Kane through injury.

Now The Mirror reckon that the club are ready to cut their losses on that deal last year and move him on in the upcoming transfer window.

As Spurs have not yet paid all the instalments on that £20m deal, they have an opportunity to recoup some of the money they've already lost, say the paper.

With strengthening the squad a priority this summer, any Janssen sale would likely be reinvested back into the squad, especially an attack without much depth to it.

Time to go?

Janssen has managed just one goal from open play so far this season, a dismal return for any striker, never mind one looking to cement a place in a top four side. He has had limited starts but if Mauricio Pochettino fancied him as future star at White Hart Lane you'd expect him to be starting more.

There's a quality player in there somewhere but the step up from Eredivisie to the Premier League has proven too great for the Dutchman.

Cutting their losses and recouping some of their outlay seems like a sensible solution, especially if Pochettino is planning on revitalising their attack over the summer.
