OFFICIAL: Janssen the Premier League's worst striker image

Vincent Janssen is officially the worst striker in the Premier League.

The Netherlands international joined Tottenham in a £17 million deal in the summer, but has thus far failed to effectively deputise for first-choice striker Harry Kane.

Janssen has scored three goals for Spurs but each has come from the penalty spot, against Gillingham and Liverpool in the EFL Cup and Leicester City in the Premier League.

However, Opta stats reveal that Janssen has had the most shots of any Premier League striker, 33, without scoring from open play.

 

The 22-year-old drew another blank against Aston Villa in the FA Cup and was hooked by Mauricio Pochettino just before the hour mark, to be replaced by Dele Alli.

Spurs subsequently scored twice before full-time, with left-back Ben Davies and Heung-Min Son on the scoresheet.
