Vincent Janssen rejects a short-term move to Sevilla in favour of a permanent transfer to the Chinese Super League, according to a report.

Tottenham Hotspur flop Vincent Janssen is reportedly heading to the Chinese Super League after rejecting a loan move to Sevilla.

The 24-year-old has not featured for the Lilywhites this season and is not part of Mauricio Pochettino's plans.

Spurs have been keen to get the ex-AZ striker off their books on a permanent basis, though a five-month loan appeared to be the most likely outcome.

According to The Sun, however, an unnamed Chinese side are interested in a permanent transfer and Tottenham are happy to take a £5m hit to sell him for good.

Janssen finished top scorer in the Eredivisie with 27 goals prior to joining Pochettino's side, but he has scored just nine times in 39 appearances in English football.

Spurs also sold Mousa Dembele to Guangzhou R&F earlier in the winter window, banking £11m for a player who was due to become a free agent in the summer.
