Fenerbahce Presidential candidate Ali Koc has slammed current club President Aziz Yildirim for shelling out €5 million to loan Tottenham striker Vincent Janssen this season.
Janssen joined Fenerbahce on loan at the start of the season but has failed to impress. The 23-year-old has netted just three goals in 14 Turkish Super Lig games this season.
The Netherlands international has also struggled with injuries this season and only recently returned to first-team football after recovering from a toe injury.
Ali Koc commented on Janssen’s loan deal during an event in Germany.

“It’s incredible. A club as large as Fenerbahce always seems to be paying over the odds for players and it has even become a club tradition. That’s not a good sign financially,” Koc was quoted as saying by FutbolArena.
“For example, we have paid €5m for Vincent Janssen. This is just a loan deal,”
“No option to buy or a redemption clause. We paid €5m for a 10-month loan deal. This is not good for our club. We need to do it better and we can do it better.”
Janssen could feature for Fenerbahce tonight when they take on bottom-of-the-table Karabukspor in the Turkish Super Lig this evening.
The Yellow Canaries need to secure all three points if they are to maintain hopes of winning their 20th championship this weekend.
Janssen is expected to return to Tottenham at the end of the season when his loan deal expires.
