Tottenham Hotspur striker Vincent Janssen reportedly faces a fight to save his future at the club following a testing debut season at White Hart Lane.

"Spurs are reviewing their squad and drawing up transfer plans for the summer—and as it stands, another striker is set to be on their shopping list following Janssen's failure to prove he can be an able deputy to Harry Kane," the report continued.
