Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed he could play Vincent Janssen ahead of Harry Kane this season.

Kane has been undisputed first choice centre forward at Spurs since he broke into the team but now faces competition from Netherlands international Janssen for regular game time.

Kane started Tottenham's 1-1 draw with Everton on Saturday but the north Londoners made a marked improvement when Janssen was introduced alongside the England striker in the second half.

Deploying two strikers saw Pochettino stray from his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation and the Spurs manager is clearly relishing the new options at his disposal, but has suggested Kane may not be called upon as regularly as last term.

"Harry needs to be ready for every game and it is my decision whether he plays or not," Pochettino told the Times.

"But I am open too. It is about performance.

"Maybe they can play together or maybe we can play Vincent or Harry," he added.

Janssen arrived at White Hart Lane in fine form, having scored 27 Eredivisie goals for AZ Alkmaar last term, but Everton goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg denied his compatriot a debut strike at Goodison Park.

And Kane believes his side would have gone on to claim all three points had it not been for Stekelenburg's ability between the sticks: "I thought we dominated the game and should have gone on to win it.

"The 'keeper has pulled off a couple of very good saves. Overall it is an alright result but there is plenty to work on for next week."
