How old is Vincent Janssen, when did he last play for Tottenham and what is his goal scoring record?
TOTTENHAM face Manchester City for the third time in less than two weeks as they look to keep hold of their top four place in the Premier League.
After Wednesday’s exhausting Champions League clash, Mauricio Pochettino has rotated his squad, with the unfamiliar figure of Vincent Janssen on the bench.
How old is Vincent Janssen?
The Dutch international is still only 24 – having been born June 15, 1994 in Heesch.
Janssen made his professional debut in August 2013 for Almere, before moving onto AZ Alkmaar two years later.
After storming the Eredivisie league in his lone season at the AFAS Stadion, Tottenham snapped him up for £17million in a bid to provide competition for Harry Kane.

When did Janssen last play for Tottenham?
Janssen has had a nightmare spell with injuries and lack of form, last turning out for the senior side in Spurs’ defeat to Chelsea on August 20, 2017.
He was a late substitute in that game, coming on in the dying minutes.
The Dutchman was sent on loan to Turkish side Fenerbahce soon after, featuring 16 times in the Super Lig.
Since returning last summer, his only competitive game time has been for the reserves, playing twice for the under-23 outfit in Premier League 2 in January.
What is his goal scoring record?
Big things were expected of Janssen when he arrived at Tottenham, after netting 27 times in 34 Eredivisie matches for AZ.
He was hoped to push Kane and provide sufficient back up when he was either being rested or injured.
But since his big London move, Janssen has only scored six times in 39 appearances for the club.
