Vincent Janssen
Anyone seen him play? Class goal record for a 21 year old, but it's Holland.
Holland also gave us Suarez and Fat Ronaldo. Not everyone will turn out to be Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink
Watched his highlights and he looks special. Lots of different finishes and situations. Unlike Lacazette who just scores the same goal 20 times a season.
Prefer Icardi.
This is also a Mirror 'exclusive'. He any good?

That's right. Always hard to know what you get when you buy from there, might be Suarez, might be Afonso Alves. But that happens from France as well I guess.
The kid looks good, scored a lot in the second division as well...moved up a level and scored more. Nice.
Still ... I think all of us would prefer an established class striker...but that will never happen under Wenger...so...
I'm no authority whatsoever, I watched 2 and half minutes of a YouTube video on him and couldn't watch anymore because he looked a donkey to me.
Don't think he looks like a donkey at all. Seems to be able to score all kinds of goals. Maybe I'm just too used to Giroud.
The first goal alone in this video is enough for me to rule out calling him a donkey
Pretty impressive from that video, bit of skill, looks quick enough, good finisher. Most importantly he's already a goalscorer.
No thank you.
Looks like a very good finisher, worth a gamble at 21 years of age.
looks a bit kane-ish. no obvious outstanding quality, but finds good positions and knows where the goal is. our strikers need a total revamp, including the wiltord/kanu back up role
I don't follow the Eredivisie but was told by a Dutch football fan that he has pretty impressive technique, ambidextrous too!
His development has been baffling. I didn't rate him ahead of this season, now I wonder what his ceiling is.
Very reminiscent of Ruud van Nistelrooy in Eredivisie, in that he's not a great footballer, but industrious, and a goal machine.
Van Nistelrooy wasn't a poacher in Eredivisie btw, Janssen isn't either. Really good in link-up play. And really unfazed too.
Something I just read by a Dutch football writer, I like everything I read about Janssen.
Apparently 20 of his league goals have come in 2016.
It's only a short highlight reel, but I would happily do it. But would also want Wenger to put money in a goal scoring AM like Mahrez, Griezmann, etc as well. He looks a natural. Happy to go at players. All three of our strikers are incapable of this
Goalscorers will always sell, if he doesn't work out we'll probably be able to recoup all the transfer fee.
Like vela and Campbell you can sell them anytime you want. It's the sanogos, chamack and bentners that's nobody wants.
This is the kind of guy you sign as well as Higuain or Lewandowski.
