Tottenham boss Postecoglou: More to come from Werner and Johnson

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has faith in his two flyers to improve.

The Australian believes there is much more to come from wingers Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner.

The duo have been impressive, but also inconsistent, for Spurs since the winter break.

"Brennan was super on the weekend," Postecoglou said after his team beat Luton Town 2-1 on Saturday.

"He's still young, he's developing. He's moved to a big club where there's big expectations when you have a big transfer fee. But for the most part I think he's handled it really well.

"He's another one understanding more and more how we want to play and he's adjusting to it.

"It was always going to be a tough introduction for a young player, moving to a big club for a transfer fee. And it's always harder for attacking players because they are usually measured on one thing: goals and assists. But I think he's contributing in more [ways] than just that."

"It's fair to say he's made an impact in every game," Postecoglou added on Werner.

"Yeah, he'd probably like a couple more goals but at the same time he's an important part of our structure and I thought he was really good on the weekend. He has been in the last few games but I do think there's more improvement in him as he understands our game more."
