The 22-year-old has shown off his lightning-fast speed, remarkable crossing ability, and utility in counterpressing, but he hasn’t yet put together a few solid performances to prove he is a true member of the team.
Should Brennan Johnson be starting for Spurs?
Merson believes that Johnson should start the game right now, but for now, Postecoglou should mostly use him as an impact substitute.
“Kulusevski is not playing today,” the former Arsenal midfielder stated to Sky Sports News at 12:33 p.m. on February 4, 2024. That one doesn’t sit well with me. Johnson is not a role I would have taken. Although I am aware that he scored, I currently believe that Johnson is an impact player. He is not a player that I believe starts for Tottenham.
Our opinion
It has often been observed that certain players may require more time to acclimatise to their new environment following a club relocation. For instance, Richarlison is now demonstrating why Spurs paid such a high price for him, despite the fact that he was written off by significant portions of the fan base.
Johnson needs time and patience because he is less experienced and younger than the Brazilian. The winger has the potential to develop into a premier player, even though we might not see his peak form until the next campaign.
