Alasdair Gold has revealed that Brennan Johnson is extremely loved at Tottenham, with Ange Postecoglou and Son Heung-min both said to be big fans of the winger.
Johnson has come in for quite a bit of stick over recent months (some will feel unfairly so), with the winger perhaps not delivering the standard of performances that his £47.5m price tag demands.
However, over the past few weeks, there are clear signs that the Welshman is starting to settle into his new surroundings and he has showcased some of the attributes that convinced the Lilywhites to pay such a big fee for him last summer.
On Saturday, the winger came on just past the hour mark and provided two assists as Tottenham turned a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 win.
The first of the two was a clear demonstration of what the former Forest star can offer as he chased down a lost cause, and showed great feet to go past two Palace defenders before picking out Timo Werner.
Brennan Johnson is much loved at Tottenham
On the back of his impressive cameo, Gold has now said on the Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham podcast: “It’s a tough one for Johnson but he’s doing everything right, that’s the key thing.
“There’s so much belief in him at that club, Postecoglou loves him, feels like he’s going to be a terrific player.
“Sonny adores him, I mean the interview he did on him afterwards, he was just saying how good he’s going to be, and he said this previously, he thinks he’s going to be like one of the best players in the Premier League.
“One of the best players Wales has had, and bearing in mind Wales have had Gareth Bale, who’s done rather well for himself before he retired.”
Spurs Web Opinion
It was quite clear when Johnson arrived at Tottenham last summer that he was still a raw talent. Postecoglou’s plans would have likely been to ease him into the picture but Spurs’ injury crisis meant that the 22-year-old had to play every week.
Now that the other attackers are all fit and there is not so much pressure on Johnson to deliver, we are starting to see the winger play with a bit more confidence and showcase his qualities.
