#2 Vincent Janssen bursting to life
Trending
When Tottenham Hotspurs signed Vincent Janssen from the Eredivisie, many fans had hoped that he would turn out to be like their best signing from the Dutch league, Christian Eriksen. However, thus far, the Netherland international has failed to hit the highs that he achieved last season.
With Harry Kane’s injury, the former AZ Alkmaar player has been handed the responsibility to lead the line on his own. However, his return of just one goal—that, too, via a penalty—is a very poor return for someone Spurs spent £19 million.
Having said that, Janssen is someone who is known to grow into the fray as the season progresses. Even with his former club, AZ, he scored most of his 31 goals in the second half of the season. His work ethic means that he could eventually adapt to the difficulties of the Premier League.
And the North London Derby could be the beginning of that rise.
