#2 Vincent Janssen, is this his time?
The Dutch striker recently scored his first goal in open play for Spurs in the 6-0 FA Cup victory over Millwall, and in his cameo in that game, he looked eager to get onto every ball and was prepared to take players on and get his shot away.
Of course, after such a hard start for a young player, it would have been easy for him to cower and hide from responsibilities, but Janssen’s work-rate has never changed. He’s always hungry for goals and will always try his hardest.

With Kane now out, that obviously leaves a massive hole up top for Spurs, and it’s between Janssen and Heung-min Son to take up the mantle of the team’s key goalscorer, but with Son likely to play behind the striker or not even get on the pitch at all, this could be Janssen’s time. Similar in style to Harry Kane, if he can form a bond with those around him and take his chances, Janssen may finally come good for Tottenham.
The joy on everyone’s faces when he scored against Millwall was evident for all to see, and it may be easy to forget how good his finish was. Janssen could still yet prove to be a huge asset to Spurs.
