Stoke have enquired about a potential deal for Tottenham striker Vincent Janssen.

The Netherlands international struggled during his debut season in north London and was an unused substitute in Tottenham's opening Premier League fixture against Newcastle, where Dele Alli and Ben Davies scored in a 2-0 win for Mauricio Pochettino's side.

Janssen managed just six goals in all competitions last season, with the majority of his efforts coming through penalties, and had to play second fiddle to first choice striker Harry Kane for much of the campaign.

According to Sky Sports' Dharmesh Sheth via the Daily Star, Stoke have identified Janssen as a potential transfer target this summer and have enquired about a possible deal for the 23-year-old.
