Ex-Tottenham striker Harrison: Janssen key to AZ move

Former Tottenham striker Shayon Harrison admits his move to AZ Alkmaar was influenced by Vincent Janssen.

Janssen left AZ for Spurs before eventually joining Monterrey this year.

Harrison told the Daily Mail: "I spoke to Vinny, he was a big part of why I came here,' he says of Vincent Janssen.

"He's a very, very iconic figure at Almere. He scored a lot goals while he was here and the step that he made was from Almere and then he went to AZ Alkmaar in the first division.

"So that's a path I'm looking to emulate and speaking to him, he made me feel really confident that I was making the right decision."
