Monterrey signing Vincent Janssen stands by Spurs move

Monterrey signing Vincent Janssen has no regrets joining Tottenham.

Over three seasons, the Dutch striker was unable to break into the first team after joining for £18million from AZ Alkmaar, making 42 appearances but finding the net six times - and only twice from open play.

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.

"If you play at AZ and there is such a large club that you want, then as a young boy you will be impressed.

"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."
