Looks like we've had a bid for Janssen rejected:

http://www.noordhollandsdagblad.nl/...Hotspur?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

ALKMAAR - Tottenham Hotspur has at AZ made an offer for Vincent Janssen.AZ, however, find the bid 'too low to sit down at the table together, "says Max Huiberts, director of football affairs.

AZ, in turn, made a bid for Wout Weghorst, Heracles striker, but that is not accepted by the club from Almelo.

Janssen (22), top scorer in the league last season, even recently released a visit to Tottenham Hotspur. There are more clubs interested in him, but Spurs is now the first and so far the only club that has made an offer for AZ

Looks like it was initially reported here:

When stories like this one come out in the Netherlands it usually means that a deal is close. They just want a (slightly) higher offer.

Pictures surfacing of Wanyama having a medical, bid made for Janssen and according to JJ, there is something in the Sanabria link too.

All these players are not at the Euros so we can move quickly. Sadly, it probably means no Batshuayi but I've not seen much of him to comment. Hopefully, Poch is happy with these alternatives.

You can't argue with the amount of goals he's scored. I think he'll bag a few for us and at worst he'll turn out to be like Kuyt was to Liverpool, a reliable workhorse kind of forward.

Gotta feeling we going to sign him. Really hope this deal goes through.

Reports like this, coinciding with the alleged Juve interest in Batshuayi isn't a shock. Equally, the really sudden upsurge in Sanabria rumours make me think it actually will happen quickly.

I'd be more than happy with Wanyama, Janssen and Sanabria as our summer business all done, especially this early.
Areas to address, DM and CF, done for £35m ish. Getting them in before preseason is going to a huge bonus.
Carter-Vickers and Ball can cover Toby at RCB, with Dier also able to step in if we feel we need a more experienced presence. A fit again Bentaleb can cover Dembele in CM, now Wanyama is a genuine Dier alternative in DM. Return of Pritchard and a fit again Njie to add some extra cover at AM/WF.

Typical Daniel Levy. Must have given AZ the impression he'd pay what they were asking, get Janssen to the training ground and be keen to join our project then offer half of what AZ value him at :LOL:

completely disagree. There has been no sign Carter vickers or Ball can cover Toby. What if he gets injured 6 weeks? Bentaleb has a lot of improving to do to cover for dembele. If we sign those two strikers, it will be a huge risk if Kane was to get injured. We need some experience in our team and leadership. Wanyama is a sure thing. I think we need that for Kanws position too. We can't just fill our team with youth and prospects and expect to challenge city and Utd ect

So they want £16m, not £12m. Is it concerning that our third offer is still £5m away from their asking price- maybe suggests we're quite reluctant to go that high.

De Telegraaf reporting that AZ rejected €14 million offer from Tottenham for Vincent Janssen. AZ want at least €20 million.

Dutch Football ‏@football_oranje 12m12 minutes ago
The €14 million bid was Tottenham's third offer. Still a €6 million difference in asking price.

For Vincent Janssen, Spurs first bid €10mn + €2.5mn in bonuses. Second bid: €12.5mn + €2.5mn bonuses. Third bid (last night): €14mn.

TBF I'd imagine Levy's negotiating technique is probably to start bidding just above the level at which it becomes insulting.

The continued bidding shows that we're clearly still interested. They would have told him the asking price after the first bid - so imo we probably think we've got a chance of reaching an agreement.

If it happens, it'll probs be about $17m imo, which is still a good deal I think.

Unlike Bats this is one I can see happening, and I welcome that. Don't know much about either but this is much more us and I think it'll happen. Hopefully get it done soon

That's basically how negotiations works.
