Alasdair Gold claims there is a ‘real belief’ one Spurs player can become a ‘top player’
Brennan Johnson continues to produce great performances and deliver goals and assists for Tottenham Hotspur, and Alasdair Gold says those behind the scenes at the club are very happy with how the player performs and behaves.
Having joined Spurs on transfer deadline day last summer in a huge £47.5m deal, there was always going to be a degree of expectation on Brennan Johnson‘s shoulders.
The young winger has come in for a fair amount of criticism during his time with Spurs, including former Lilywhites player Jamie O’Hara calling for Johnson to be better with his final ball.
Johnson has silenced the critics of late, though, with a great run of form over the last few games. He now has four goals and six assists in 24 league games for Ange Postecoglou‘s side this season (Transfermarkt).
The 22-year-old has earned praise from his captain, Heung-min Son, too, who described Johnson as a ‘fantastic player’ and insisted his teammate can go on to be one of the ‘greatest’ his club and country have ever seen.
Brennan Johnson is very popular at Spurs
Now, Alasdair Gold has shared what he has heard from behind the scenes at Tottenham, and it’s all positive when it comes to Brennan Johnson.
On the Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham podcast, Gold said: “He’s a very well-liked guy around the club, he’s a very willing learner, very clever guy. Very popular figure behind the scenes and very much, I’ve said before, but a real belief in what he can become.
“We’re only seeing the very early version of Brennan Johnson right now, he’s got all of the tools to be a real top player.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I honestly don’t know what some people’s problem is with Brennan Johnson. He’s been terrific this season, contributing goals and assists at important times. He may not always play the right pass or make the right decision, but every player in the world is guilty of that at times.
