Janssen Comments on Spurs Move

Friday, July 8

"AZ and Spurs are talking now. It's not 100 percent, but it's looking good. Otherwise I would have trained," Janssen told newspaper Noordhollands Dagblad, translated by Dutch writer Elko Born, via Dan Kilpatrick of ESPN FC. "I'm happy the clubs are talking now. I'm going to go home and wait. It could take an hour, but it could also take longer."

Janssen Enjoyed Breakout Season at AZ

Per WhoScored.com, Janssen scored 27 league goals and provided four assists last season in his maiden year in the top tier. 

OptaJohan detailed how Janssen’s stunning Eredivisie form saw him placed in direct comparison with one of football’s all-time great strikers:

The complete attacker, who enjoys the ball at his feet, only joined the AFAS Stadion club in 2015 but has made an immediate impact on the face of football in the Netherlands. Manager Danny Blind rewarded Janssen for his goalscoring exploits by handing him a senior international call-up for Holland's friendly against England in March.

The 22-year-old repaid the faith Blind showed in him by scoring in his debut and providing the assist for Luciano Narsingh's winner, per Soccerway. In four further appearances for the Oranje, Janssen has scored twice more to enhance his reputation at the elite level.
