Brennan Johnson will return to Nottingham Forest tomorrow night for the first time since leaving his boyhood club for Tottenham Hotspur. Ange Postecoglou has been asked about the player during his latest press conference and had plenty of positive things to say.
Making a deadline day move to Tottenham was a big deal for Brennan Johnson, who had been at Forest from a young age and had become a local hero after guiding his club to promotion from the Championship.
His stock at Nottingham Forest rose even further last season as the young Welshman bagged eight goals and three assists to help the newly promoted side stay in the Premier League (Transfermarkt).
Johnson has made a great start to life at Tottenham, too. The 22-year-old has one goal and two assists to his name already (Transfermarkt) and has proven to be a valuable asset for Ange Postecoglou in the short time he’s been at the club.

Postecoglou is happy with Brennan Johnson
Speaking to the press (via Football.London) ahead of the clash between Spurs and Forest tomorrow night, Postecoglou was asked about Johnson’s impact and development.
He said: “We’re really pleased with the way Brennan’s developing. We’re wary when signings come in late in the piece because they have to get up to speed with the way we train, the way we play, and he’s had a couple of setbacks with little niggles so he hasn’t really had a good run at it.
“But the last few weeks you can see he’s starting to more than anything feel at ease with himself in what we’re trying to do. Especially in that front third, you need the players to play with a bit more freedom, albeit at the same time he’s taking in a lot of information.
“I think he was really good last weekend and unlucky not to score, but his general game was really good. I’m sure Sonny’s helped him enormously but ask any player in the group and they’d say Sonny has been a big part of helping them settle in to what we’re doing here.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Brennan Johnson is slowly but surely settling into this side, and looks more and more dangerous each week. I thought he had an off game against West Ham, but he still looks very lively and has the right ideas. It’s now just about executing those decisions correctly and making more of an impact in the final third.
