Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino feels that there is too much pressure on summer signing Vincent Janssen to score goals.

The Dutch striker, who arrived in a £17million move from AZ Alkmaar in the summer, is yet to open his account for Spurs from open play having only converted a penalty in the EFL Cup.

In the wake of Tuesday's 0-0 Champions League draw with Bayer Leverkusen, in which Janssen [planted a head onto the crossbar, Pochettino said: "Vincent is disappointed as the strikers like to score.

"Always it is incomplete – if you play well but you don't score, something is always missing.

"But he is happy. He wants to show he has the quality to score and maybe he puts a lot of pressure on himself, 'I need to score, I need to score', and in the end, we need to calm him, to say, 'Yes, good, don't worry, work hard, keep going and you will ensure you will score'."
