Jan Vertonghen: 'Roberto Soldado will score goals'

Jan Vertonghen backs Roberto Soldado to find his shooting boots and feels that he will "score one and he won't stop scoring".

Jan Vertonghen has revealed that he fully expects Roberto Soldado to prove that he is capable of scoring goals for Tottenham Hotspur.

The striker, a £26m summer signing from Valencia, has failed to show his best form at White Hart Lane and missed what appeared to be a simple chance in the 1-0 defeat against Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the Europa League on Thursday night.

However, Spurs defender Vertonghen insists that Soldado will soon find his goalscoring touch.

"At some time he is going to score one and he won't stop scoring. I hope that day is coming soon," he told The Express.

"He's a very smart guy and there is nobody who wants to score more than him. It's his life. He is practising after training all the time. Missing this chance feels harsh for him but he will come back.

"He is determined to prove himself. He is a very determined person and he did well when he played up front with Emmanuel Adebayor. He just needs a few more games."

Soldado has one goal in his last 10 games and is yet to find the net this year.
