The 22-year-old joined Spurs in a £17million deal from AZ Alkmaar in the summer, but has failed to live up to his price tag so far at White Hart Lane.

The Holland international scored from the penalty spot in the 1-1 draw with Leicester - his first Premier League goal - and has led the line since Harry Kane damaged his ankle ligaments in September.

Up next for Spurs is a Champions League clash with Bayern Leverkusen at Wembley tomorrow (7.45pm).
