Vincent Janssen scored for Tottenham Hotspur against Leicester City in the Premier League at the weekend.
Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour outlined on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Monday morning (broadcast from 6am, October 31, 2016) the difference between Tottenham Hotspur strikers Harry Kane and Vincent Janssen.
Kane is one of the best strikers in the Premier League and is a key member of the current Tottenham squad.
The England international striker is injured at the moment, and his absence is being felt.
Vincent Janssen was signed in the summer transfer window in order to share the goalscoring burden with Kane, but the Netherlands international striker has yet to impress.
The 22-year-old scored against Leicester City at White Hart Lane in the Premier League at the weekend, but it was only from the penalty spot.
Former Arsenal midfielder Parlour followed the match, and he has outlined the difference between Janssen and Kane.
The Englishman, though, was impressed with the performance of midfielder Victor Wanyama for Tottenham against Leicester on Saturday afternoon.
“I was very impressed with Wanyama in midfield,” said Parlour on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Monday morning (broadcast from 6am, October 31, 2016). “I thought he was strong, he kept the ball well.”
“I think they created chances,” added Parlour. “Janssen was trying his best. He hasn’t got the instincts of Harry.”

| Victor Wanyama | 84% | 0 | 0 | 9 | 73 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 87 |
Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has also underlined the importance of Kane, and has said that Tottenham need the 23-year-old striker back as soon as possible.
“They have got to get Harry Kane back,” Souness told talkSPORT. “I think he is destined for stardom.
“I think Janssen is a willing body, but I am not sure if he has got the quick feet that will allow him to get goals in the Premier League.”
Tottenham are fifth in the Premier League table at the moment with 20 points from 10 matches, just three points behind leaders Manchester City.
