The 23-year-old was brought in as back-up to Golden Boot winner Harry Kane - but when the England international was out of action Son Hueng Min led the line.

His lack of game time did not help the forward out and it took until March 12 to score his first goal from open play against Millwall in the FA Cup.

After only netting six goals in 38 appearances at Spurs last season the forward was given very minimal opportunities by Mauricio Pochettino.

While on international duty with Holland recently, Janssen said his future would be decided after a post-season holiday.

He told : "I initially found it difficult with my role as a substitute, sometimes sitting in the stands at Spurs, but I learned to deal with it.

"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 who is performing remains in the team.

"That [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.

"I cannot say anything about that [a return to the Eredivisie] either. I keep all options open."
