Janssen seals transfer to Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur have announced the signing of Vincent Janssen from AZ Alkmaar on a four-year deal.

Janssen becomes Mauricio Pochettino’s second signing of the summer after Victor Wanyama joined from Southampton last month.

The 22-year-old Netherlands international scored 27 goals in 34 appearances in the Eredivisie last season, averaging a goal every 102 minutes.

Janssen became the sixth youngest player to score at least 25 goals in a single Dutch top-flight campaign.

"I'm happy to play for Spurs," Janssen told the club's Twitter account. "It's a beautiful club and I think I have a good chance to develop myself here.

"I can train with a young talented group and with very good staff. I'm ready to develop myself here."

Fans could see Janssen in the International Champions Cup, when Spurs face Juventus and Atletico Madrid later this month, before finishing their pre-season preparations against Inter Milan.

Spurs start the 2016/17 Premier League campaign with a trip to Ronald Koeman’s Everton on Saturday 13 August.
