Two Premier League goals since £17m transfer, but Janssen vows to stick with Spurs

The Netherlands international has struggled to justify his hefty price tag but believes there are positives for him to take heading forward

Vincent Janssen acknowledges that critics may “joke” at his Tottenham goal return but he has no intention of quitting the club.

The Dutch striker netted 31 times for AZ last season to earn himself a £17 million transfer to White Hart Lane.

Snapped up with the intention of complementing and competing with Harry Kane, the 22-year-old has managed just two Premier League goals and six in total this term.

He acknowledges that he has fallen short of expectations but has sought to bring an end to any exit rumours by vowing to face his challenges head on, rather than run away from them.
