Vincent Janssen has rejected a late bid from West Ham to hijack his £17million move to Spurs.

The Dutch striker, 21, will sign for the north Londoners and is set to have his transfer from AZ Alkmaar confirmed within days.

West Ham offered a higher transfer fee and bigger wages in an attempt to steal Janssen from under the noses of their London rivals.

But Janssen, who had also rejected an approach from French champions PSG, was insistent that Tottenham were the only club that he wanted to join.

The Holland marksman netted 27 times in 34 appearances for Alkmaar last season. He has also scored in three of his last four games for this country.

Mirror Sport revealed last month that Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino had moved to make him the first of his striking reinforcements after two seasons relying on England frontman Harry Kane.

Janssen travelled to London to hold talks and agreed terms but, after leading Spurs to believe a £12million deal would be straightforward, Alkmaar hiked up the price, instead demanding £17million.

Spurs are now deciding whether to meet Newcastle’s £25million asking price for attacking midfielder Gigi Wijnaldum.
