Tottenham striker Vincent Janssen is “keeping all options open” ahead of a possible departure from White Hart Lane.

The Dutch international endured a disappointing debut season in England after his £20million move from AZ Alkmaar, scoring just twice from open play across 38 appearances in all competitions.

Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino increasingly lost faith in Janssen during the second half of the season, handing the striker just one Premier League start from November onwards, and the 22-year-old is expected to be among those who leave Tottenham in the summer.

Speculation in the Netherlands has suggested that Janssen could be bound for a leading Dutch club but he insisted he had yet to make a decision over where he would be playing next season.

“I cannot say anything about that,” Janssen told De Telegraaf when asked about a possible move back to the Eredivisie. “I keep all options open.”

He added: “[My future] is a matter for after the holidays. I want the prospect of more playing time, but otherwise I’m now better keeping my mouth shut.”

Janssen was envisaged as a backup for striker Harry Kane when he first arrived last summer but it was hoped the pair might be able to strike up a partnership when required.

That never transpired and Kane proved himself to be undroppable, winning the Golden Boot with a return of 29 goals from 30 Premier League appearances.

“I initially found it difficult with my role as a substitute, sometimes sat in the stands at Spurs, but I learned to deal with it,” Janssen added.

“As a young player I had to compete with Harry Kane, the top scorer of the Premier League, arguably the toughest league in the world. And a striker performing remains in the team.”
