Forgotten Tottenham striker Vincent Janssen has reportedly handed in a transfer request in a bid to force through a move to Fenerbahce, and Spurs fans are starting to get angry with Daniel Levy.
The Tottenham supremo is notoriously tight when it comes to transfers and he is reportedly not budging from his valuation for the forward.
Time is running out for English clubs to sign players and Tottenham fans think Levy should take what’s on offer and concentrate on bringing new faces in through the door, like Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish.

The 24-year-old has had a miserable time at Spurs since his £20million move from AZ Alkmaar.
The Dutch international has only scored six goals in 39 games and spent last season on loan at Fenerbahce, where he scored five goals in 18 games after suffering an injury.
Tottenham fans want him gone and Janssen wants to leave, but it seems that Levy won’t let him go unless his valuation is met.
And that’s angered some Spurs fans who have accused him of hindering deals across numerous transfer windows.
Here are the best reactions from frustrated Tottenham fans:

Guy wants to go. Team interested in buying. Just cut your losses ?

That is Daniels biggest problem, we need them out.

But I’m guessing still wanting a big fee back that’s the issue. Surely sometimes better just to take a hit and move on

And we don't take him on the tour so that we can avoid giving him an opportunity to put himself in the shop window and keep demanding sky high prices which nobody will pay because the guy hasn't played in over 5 months since his injury.

Oh ffs Daniel just let him go for a cut price. You are asking a top price for a flop

OPINION
You want someone as astute as Daniel levy in charge of your transfers, but the downside is situations like this one. Janssen missed a big chunk of last season through injury and flopped at Tottenham. If the Fenerbahce deal falls through Tottenham could end up with a striker they don’t want and who won’t play for them again. That’s the worst possible situation, especially as it would impact on any deals coming in. Levy needs to find a compromise solution fast – the fans are right this time.
