Before Nottingham Forest’s return, the Tottenham manager delivers the Brennan Johnson verdict.
The most recent information about Nottingham Forest as the winger makes his first trip to City Ground on Friday night after joining Spurs on deadline day
Before Brennan Johnson makes his first visit back to Nottingham Forest since leaving the team in the summer, Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has talked about the progress he has seen in the player.
On deadline day, the Reds’ academy graduate completed a £47.5 million move to Tottenham from the City Ground. After just two games, Johnson’s hamstring injury derailed his North London debut. When he got back, he
made three substitute appearances prior to being selected back into the starting lineup, where he has spent the previous five games.
In their 2-1 loss to Wolves last month, the 22-year-old scored the team’s first goal. Despite not scoring a goal in Newcastle’s 4-1 victory over him last weekend, he left an impression with his performance.
Johnson is anticipated to start for Tottenham on Friday night when they visit the City Ground (kickoff at 8 p.m.). He will be playing on a pitch where he is accustomed to scoring and providing assists.
Postecoglou is pleased with the former Forest man’s development. The captain of the Spurs, Son Heung-min, has received special recognition from the manager for helping him adjust to the team and the style of play.
“We’re really happy with the way Brennan’s developing,” he stated via football.london during his pre-game press conference. When signings arrive later in the piece, we become cautious.
But over the past few weeks, it’s evident that he’s beginning to feel more at ease with himself and the work we’re trying to accomplish. You need the players to play a little more freely, especially in the front third, even though they are still taking in a lot of information.
“He was unlucky not to score last weekend, but overall I thought he played really well. I have no doubt that Sonny has greatly aided him, but if you ask any member of the team, they will all tell you that Sonny has played a significant role in assisting them in getting used to our new routine.
