Tottenham strikers Vincent Janssen and Fernando Llorente will both be handed an ultimatum to find themselves new clubs by manager Mauricio Pochettino as the club enters the summer transfer market, according to a report.
The London Evening Standard claim on their live transfer blog on their website (21/05, approx 11:45), that the powerhouse pair are both set for the exit as the Argentine boss plans a change up of his attacking options in north London.
Neither of the pair have lived up to expectations at Spurs, with the Dutch striker, who signed for £17million, being shipped off to Fenerbahce on a season-long loan last summer, and it is stated that the Turkish side have rejected Tottenham’s offer to take the 23-year-old permanently.
Good move for Tottenham?
Absolutely.
Neither of the duo have managed to show any sort of form which warrants them worthy of being understudy to Harry Kane, and Pochettino may well be counting himself incredibly fortunate that the England hitman has remained as fit as he has.
Even when Kane has been out of action, the Argentine boss has tended to utilise Heung-min Son as a centre forward, and that tells fans all they need to know about how unimpressed he has been with what are deemed his more natural striking options.
Everyone loves seeing a new attacker sign in summer, and with Llorente and Janssen set for the exit, Spurs supporters should have their fingers crossed over an exciting swoop.

Likely to happen?
Incredibly.
The duo have fallen out of favour for their sub par performances and with Spurs looking to continue growing into a competitive force both domestically and in Europe, they cannot afford to be carrying deadwood around.
Pochettino needs a quality replacement for Kane in case of injury, suspension or simply rest, and the current options have not cut the mustard.
