Alasdair Gold has revealed in his latest column on Football London that Ange Postecoglou expects Brennan Johnson to shine during the upcoming campaign.
While Johnson was widely seen as an exciting young prospect at Forest, some eyebrows were raised when Tottenham paid £47.5 million (Sky Sports) to bring him to the club a year ago.
During the winger’s first few months at Spurs, it appeared as if he was struggling to cope with the weight of the big price tag as he seemed to be trying too hard and struggled to make decisive contributions in the final third.
However, the 23-year-old got better as the season went on, eventually finishing with 15 goal contributions in the Premier League.
Gold has now revealed that Postecoglou expects the winger to potentially do even better in his second season at North London.
The journalist states that the Australian coach has high hopes for the Wales international and believes in his qualities.
He also adds that there is a lot of belief internally at Hotspur Way that Johnson is ‘going to improve’ over the next couple of years.

The most exciting thing about the current Spurs side is the fact that the likes of Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson, Pape Sarr, Micky van de Ven and perhaps even Pedro Porro are not at their peak yet and are going to continue to get better over the next few seasons.
Brennan Johnson should really be aiming for double digits in goals and assists across all competitions next season.
