AZ Alkmaar striker Vincent Janssen says he expects to soon sign for Tottenham.

Having missed out on new Chelsea signing Michy Batshuayi, Mauricio Pochettino has now moved quickly to acquire backup for Harry Kane, who spent parts of last season as Tottenham's only senior centre forward.

"I won't train with AZ anymore," he told Algemeen Dagblad. "The clubs are now really close to an agreement. I will go home and wait for the phone call to go.

"I'm glad that it is almost complete. For me it was clear from the beginning that I wanted to go to Spurs. The competition appeals to me and the plan of the coach is similar to the plan that AZ boss John van den Brom shared with me a year ago at AZ.

"It is a beautiful club with a fantastic stadium and heaps of potential. Anyone in my shoes would take this step.

"Harry Kane? People can say what they want but I'm not afraid of anybody. He is a great striker but we will see how it goes. We can complement each other, I think I can learn a lot from him."
