Pochettino Says Vincent Janssen's Loan Switch Was Mutual Decision Between Club & Player

After scoring his first goal for Fernebache, it has come to light that Vincent Janssen was eager to leave Spurs this summer in search of consistent playing-time, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Janssen scored an impressive 27 goals in 34 appearances for Dutch side AZ in the 2015/16 season, which earned the 23-year-old a dream £17 million move to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2016.

However, the Dutchman could only muster a disappointing two goals in 27 appearances for the north Londoners, where he fell way behind in the pecking order to the prolific Harry Kane.
