Vincent Janssen to Tottenham: Striker confirms he wants to join Spurs and accuses Alkmaar of setting too high a price
Tottenham target Vincent Janssen says he wants to join the club but accused AZ Alkmaar of demanding too high a price.
Spurs have made a series of offers for Janssen, with the player claiming the latest was worth about £15million.
Yet Dutch club AZ are holding out for £16.5m, says the forward, which has caused a stalemate.
Janssen said: “I have expressed my choice to the club. Tottenham have released a high bid in my eyes.
"There has been an offer of almost €18m, but AZ will not even go to the table.
“I would like to be somewhere else as soon as possible to start pre-season training. This is frustrating.”
Janssen, 22, scored 30 goals in all competitions for AZ last season, catching the eye of Spurs.
He was also on target for Holland in their friendly victory over England at Wembley earlier this year.
Spurs had also shown strong interest in Marseille forward Michy Batshuayi, though the Belgium forward is now set to join Chelsea.
It is thought Tottenham would offer Janssen a five-year contract worth about £25-30,000 a week.
