Vincent Janssen has opened up on his time at Tottenham after ending a disastrous three-year spell at the club to join Mexican side C.F Monterrey and insisted he would do it all again.
Janssen spent the 2017/18 season on loan at Fenerbace, but believes he learnt a lot in north London and and was right to make the move.
He told De Telegraaf: 'The Tottenham chapter did not go the way we all wanted, but I think I would make the same choice if I had another chance.
'Apart from the lesser moments, I also learned a lot.'
The 25-year-old also felt that his Tottenham career hinged on some early missed opportunities that could have changed things.
'In the beginning I missed opportunities that I sometimes think afterwards: "if I had finished them, things could have turned out differently".
'Anyway, I’m not going to blame myself for that sort of thing. I have always given one hundred percent.'
'Many people think that life as a football player only consists of kicking a ball, but that is not the case. There is so much more involved.
'A lot of pressure, for example. And if you are not in a good time, it can sometimes be tough. That does not mean that I did not give a hundred percent that day.
'But you do end up in a situation where you have to deal with setbacks and that is not always easy when you embark on such a big adventure for the first time.
'I am now a lot more mature and I can process things more easily. I am really happy person here.
'I am really looking forward to playing again, to pay back the people here and to show them who Vincent Janssen is.'

Any striker going to Tottenham isn't going to do well as long as Kane is around

Always gave 100%, we can ask no more. Shame it didn't work out, he was a player that people like Ruud Gullit rated very highly and was well worth a punt. Even though it went wrong for him, he has nothing bad to say about Spurs, it seems, and is a classy guy. Really hope it all clicks into place at the new club.
