Wimmer backs physical Janssen for Tottenham success
Vincent Janssen might have given new Tottenham pal Kevin Wimmer a black eye, but the Belgian still thinks he will be a success.
Vincent Janssen has already made his mark at Tottenham, despite just playing one game for the Premier League outfit.
More specifically, he has made his mark on defender Kevin Wimmer.
The centre-half was sporting a black-eye as he wandered the streets of Melbourne with his fellow Tottenham team-mates and the Belgium international revealed Janssen was responsible.
"It happened in training last week," Wimmer explained.
"He got his elbow in - a little accident."
Not that Wimmer is holding any grudges against his new team-mate.
"He's very physical," he said. "He always moves his body very well and he's a strong player and I think he'll be a very good player for us. I first saw him before the Euros when Austria played Holland.
