Pochettino faith in 'pressured' Janssen

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino wants Vincent Janssen to stop putting himself under pressure, and insists the summer signing will score goals.

Since joining Spurs from Dutch side AZ Alkmaar for £17m, the 22-year-old has scored one goal in 12 appearances.

"It is true we and he would be happier if he was scoring, but it's a normal process," said Pochettino.

"He wants to show he has the quality to score and maybe he puts a lot of pressure on himself."

Janssen scored 27 goals in the Dutch Eredivisie last season and won the Johan Cruyff Trophy, awarded to the division's young player of the year.
