POCH IS A FAN OF JAN

- By Neil Moxley

MAURICIO POCHETTINO has made a personal check on Holland striker Vincent Janssen.

The AZ Alkmaar youngster played against Ireland on Friday in Dublin – and the Tottenham boss was there to see him.

The 21-year-old has enjoyed a magnificen­t second half to the season and he is now on the radar of several top clubs. After a relatively quiet first half to the campaign, Janssen scored 22 goals in 19 appearance­s – including one against England last March. The Dutch club value him at £15million but Spurs feel £12m is more realistic.

PALERMO expect Spurs to formalise their interest in midfielder Franco Vazquez.

Pochettino wants the 27-yearold, who scored eight goals for the Sicilian Serie A side this season with seven assists.

TOTTENHAM will play their home Champions League games at Wembley next season after thrashing out a deal with the FA.

The north Londoners, who are redevelopi­ng White Hart Lane by building a £400m stadium next to their existing ground, will also have the option to use Wembley for all matches in 2017-18.
