5 best young talents from the Netherlands

Bart Ramselaar
Ramselaar’s impressive performances for Utrecht saw him move to PSV Eindhoven at the start of the 2016/17 season

#2 – Vincent Janssen (Tottenham Hotspur, 22 years old)

Vincent Janssen
Janssen could grow into one of the best strikers in world football in the coming years

When Vincent Janssen moved from AZ Alkmaar to Tottenham Hotspur during the summer transfer window, many Spurs fans would have been optimistic about the young Dutch striker. Janssen had a brilliant 2015/16 season for AZ, scoring 27 goals in 34 appearances. However, he has been able to score only 1 goal in the 11 appearances for Tottenham.

Of the 11 appearances for his new club, Janssen started only four matches. The 22-year-old is known to be a slow starter, having taken eight matches for him to register his first goal for AZ. Janssen sure has the talent and skills to grow into a prolific striker and Tottenham might just be the perfect club for him with the number of attacking talent around him.

Since making his debut for Netherlands in early 2016, Janssen has scored four goals in 10 appearances and looks to be the number one choice of Danny Blind as the striker. Having been awarded the Dutch Talent of the Year in 2016, Janssen could grow into one of the best strikers in world football in the coming years.
