The Dutch striker endured a dismal first season with Spurs after arriving from AZ Alkmaar in 2016 - so dismal, in fact, that he spent the next season loaned out to Turkish giants, Fenerbahce. Despite a promising start to life in Istanbul, he missed months of the season with an injury.
Having returned to Tottenham in the summer of last year, he is yet to make an appearance for the club after undergoing minor foot surgery in August.
Speaking ahead of Spurs' game with Newcastle on Saturday, Pochettino revealed Janssen would be training with Spurs' first team.
"When we now have two free places... he’s going to be on the list," The Spurs boss said. "That is my decision, that he’s going to be involved with the first team from today."
This represents a significant U-turn from the Argentine, who had said last week that the striker was not in his plans. Failure to move him on in the January window and bring any reinforcements in has seemingly prompted a rethink. If Spurs' injury woes worsen, Janssen may earn himself an unexpected recall to action.Football
