Vincent Janssenඣ is a name that will be familiar with those in North London, and the 29-year-old is now flying at Royal Antwerp.

💖The Belgian side recorded a famous 3-2 win against Barcelona in the Champions League last night.

ꦑAnd Belgian outlet deservedly handed Janssen a 9/10 rating for his efforts, who scored the second goal of the night.

💙Moreover, as well as praising his attacking play, the review was also impressed with his efforts defending.

🐲It said: “Was right in the match with a good interception and a chance in Peña’s hands.

🉐“Got few refereeing decisions in his favour. There might also have been some frustration in his shot at the 2-1.

🍸“Top match, even as an 11th defender when needed.”

♔Of course, Tottenham sold Janssen for in 2019, having signed him for three years earlier.

🉐Janssen aside, it will be interesting to see if Spurs do target a striker in January.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have been excelling with Son Heung-min🌠 in a central role, however he will imminently depart for the Asian Cup.

Richarlison’s💯 return to form could prove timely, however, Tottenham will surely still want additional quality in the area.

▨However, given the situation at centre-back and other areas of the squad, Daniel Levy may save a striker for the coming summer.

🀅Tottenham aren’t desperate for a striker right now, but they may need another body once European nights return.

Gift Orban💖 was a name often mentioned in the summer, however those rumours have now completely dried up.

Perhaps Ivan Toney could prove to be the leading target for Spurs in the future, 🀅a player the club now think they can beat Arsenal to.

𓆉Whatever happens, it’s certainly going to be an interesting window for Tottenhan fans to watch unfold.

꧙January will be a crucial month for Spurs, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if it turned out to be as busy at the window in the summer.
