“I’m incredible happy that I can make this step to Tottenham Hotspur,” Janssen told AZ’s official website.

“I’m glad the clubs finally agreed [a deal]. I’ve shaked everyone’s hands and I leave via the front door. I think it’s a great deal for all three parties. I’m leaving for a great football nation, and will play in the Champions League.”

“I had the best football year of my life with AZ. The people I’ve worked with were fantastisc. My step to AZ was a fine step, I can only look back to my time in Alkmaar with a positive feeling.”

Janssen becomes Spurs’ second signing of the summer, following the arrival of midfielder Victor Wanyama from Southampton.
