AZ Alkmaar striker Vincent Janssen has admitted that he wants to leave the club to make the next step in his career.

The 21-year-old netted a brilliant 27 goals in 34 Eredivisie appearances last season, and has been linked with a move to Arsenal.

‘I want to make a step, that is clear. But there is no white smoke just now,’ Janssen told Fox Sports.

‘England? We will see. Maybe something will happen in the holidays. I will take my phone with me anyway.’


Although the Gunners have been strongly linked with a move for fellow forward Jamie Vardy, they may choose to move for more than one player in the position.



In addition, with the Leicester City hero now 29-years-old, Arsene Wenger may want a younger, and more typical, signing to go along with him.
