Prove your worth! Mauricio Pochettino losing patience with Vincent Janssen at Tottenham

Tottenham's struggling striker Vincent Janssen has been told to prove his worth by manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Janssen has started only one game in three months - against Aston Villa in the FA Cup - and was not even included on the bench for Spurs' Europa League defeat to Gent on Thursday.

It was the latest humiliation in a miserable debut season for Janssen, who is yet to score from open play since joining Tottenham for £17.5million from AZ Alkmaar last summer.

He has converted four penalties: one in the Premier League, one in the FA Cup and two in the EFL Cup.
