Tottenham Hotspur have a number of talented and promising young players, and one of them is Brennan Johnson.

Johnson is only 23 now and has a lot of potential. The Wales international forward has already established himself as an important player for Tottenham.

The youngster joined Spurs from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2023.

Johnson scored five goals and gave 10 assists in 23 Premier League starts for Spurs last season.

So far this campaign, the forward has scored four goals in 10 Premier League starts and has scored two goals and provided one assist in four UEFA Europa League games for Tottenham. Johnson has impressed Glenn Hoddle among other pundits.

Johnson, who deleted his social media profiles in October, cost over £45 million in transfer fees. That is a lot of money, but the 23-year-old is starting to show why Tottenham paid that much for him.

O'Hara said about Johnson on talkSPORT: "He is frustrating, Brennan Johnson, isn't he? I watch him for Spurs all the time.

"Quick, he has got a flurry of goals for Spurs, but it's still moments in them games where I am like, ah, give me more, you know, like make something happen.

"When he gets the ball, he stands behind players, but fair play to him, his goals record for Spurs has been unbelievable this season, but I still feel like there's more you need to get out of him."

What Brennan Johnson is working on in training to get better

Not many players are finished articles at the age of 23, and Johnson is no different.

The former Forest youngster is aware that he needs to work on his game, and he actually has been trying to better himself in training with Ryan Mason.

Johnson told Football.London in October: "I've been working with the coaches here and especially with 'Mase'.

"He's been doing a lot of work with me on picking up positions, the different types of finishes, what kind of part of the foot I'm hitting with and also dribbling and then shooting, so a lot of thanks must go to him because he's been helping me a lot with that."
