New Tottenham signing Vincent Janssen has revealed he is targeting regular game time as well as silverware and a healthy goal tally during his first season at White Hart Lane.

The 22-year-old has penned a four-year deal to become Tottenham's second signing of the summer after Victor Wanyama's arrival from Southampton last month.

Janssen scored 27 goals in the Eredivisie last season and his goalscoring prowess will bolster Mauricio Pochettino's front line.

Harry Kane represented the sum of the Argentine coach's options in regards to out-and-out strikers last season and Janssen will help to provide immediate competition up top.

Kane, who won the Premier League Golden Boot last term, is expected to remain as first choice but Janssen is hopeful he can feature regularly as he bids to develop his game further at Spurs.

“I hope to play a lot, to score a lot of goals and to win prizes," he told the club's official website when asked of his aims for the forthcoming season.

"I have a great chance to develop myself here. I can train with a young, talented group with very good staff and I’m ready to develop myself.

“I can grow with this group, it’s a very talented group and next season we’re in the Champions League as well, so that’s very nice.

“It’s always been a dream for me to play in the Champions League. Now it’s coming close,” added the Netherlands international.

Tottenham have secured a place in the group stages of Europe's elite club competition next season for only the second time in their history.

Spurs will learn the identity of their three opponents when the initial group draw is made on August 25.
