Tottenham Hotspur legend Gareth Bale has admitted that he has very big hopes for Brennan Johnson. After selling Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, all eyes were on Tottenham. It was to see whether they’d try to replace him this summer.
Many would argue that the 30-year-old is irreplaceable. But on deadline day they finally brought in a forward.
Brennan Johnson arrived from Nottingham Forest for £47.5m. This is after being one of Ange Postecoglou’s top targets.
What Bale had to say about Brennan Johnson
Asked about the forward’s summer move to Tottenham, Gareth Bale said:
“He’s doing well and I think the more he plays now in the top flight, the better he’ll get.
“Like you said, the sky’s the limit I think. As long as he’s playing football and improving and doing well it’s good for Tottenham and good for Wales also.“
Johnson is much more likely to thrive when played on the wing. This is unless he’s partnered by Son or Richarlison through the middle for Spurs. Tottenham Hotspur fans will be very much pleased to hear that Johnson has received the Bale seal of approval. His debut is likely to come this weekend against Sheffield United in a game Spurs have to win.
Despite the Welshman being able to play as a centre-forward. It’s unlikely he’ll be used as a direct replacement for Harry Kane. Given how well Son Heung-min did against Burnley. It is hard to see anyone starting in that role for the foreseeable future fot Spurs.
