In the space of a week, Vincent Janssen went from being a relative unknown among English football fans to being very much on their radar.
All it took was a goal and an assist on his full international debut to help the Netherlands come from behind to beat Roy Hodgson's team at Wembley. But the AZ Alkmaar striker was already being watched by some big European clubs after scoring 20 goals in his first Eredivisie season, and scouts from Manchester United reportedly returned to the AFAS Stadion to watch the 21-year-old against PSV Eindhoven. https://twitter.com/Elko_B/status/716894500828872704 Janssen only joined AZ from second-tier Almere City last summer, having hit double figures for goals in back-to-back Eerste Divisie seasons. The powerful youngster rifled home a penalty to equalise against England, before muscling his way through to set up Luciano Narsingh's winner. Janssen is among the top scorers in qualification for the 2017 European Under-21 Championships, with six goals in five games.Explore more on these topics:
