  • Holland forward Vincent Janssen has brought his time at Tottenham to an end
  • The 23-year-old has joined Super Lig side Fenerbahce on a season-long loan 
  • Janssen scored just six times in 38 appearances for Mauricio Pochettino's side

Tottenham striker Vincent Janssen has completed a loan switch to Fenerbahce.

Janssen, a Holland international, arrived at Ataturk International airport early Friday afternoon and underwent a medical before agreeing a season-long switch.

The Super Lig outfit, who failed in a bid to bring Diego Costa on loan, will pay a fee for the short-term deal, allowing Janssen to bring the curtain down on a nightmare spell in north London.

Janssen was left out of Tottenham's Champions League squad after Spurs signed Spain forward Fernando Llorente from Swansea on deadline day.


The 23-year-old has scored only six goals in 38 appearances following an £18.5million deal with AZ Alkmaar in 2016.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino insisted on Thursday that Janssen had a future with the club.

'Yes of course [he has a future],' said Pochettino. 'The next question is why he is not in Champions League squad. That is about numbers.

'We only have 17 places [with eight home-grown players required in the selection]. We are 19, so him and [Erik] Lamela we decided [to leave out].

'But in January we check again to see if we change the names in the squad. But, yes, he has a future like other players here.'

A move to Fenerbahce would see Janssen link up with another Tottenham flop, Roberto Soldado.

He could also play alongside former Arsenal and Manchester United striker Robin van Persie.
