Tottenham manager Postecoglou: Great to get Johnson in

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has lavished praise on a new signing.

The Australian, who is already endearing himself to Spur supporters with his attacking playstyle, was asked about Brennan Johnson's quality.

Postecoglou admitted the former Nottingham Forest winger has all the tools to be a huge player for the club.

He stated: “Great to get him in. He's good a good profile for us — very similar to the other guys we brought in — in that he's young but has had some good experience already. The footballing qualities he brings fit really well with what we want to do.

“He's got energy, he's got pace, he presses really well, he's a wide player but can score goals. From that perspective, he ticks all the boxes.

“When I look at his career, he's been at [Nottingham] Forest since he was a kid. That's his football club but he's taken the decision to go now and challenge himself.

“I think he's a really good fit for us as a club. He's had a couple of sessions with the boys. That group has been really good in embracing all the new players who have come in. I think he feels comfortable, and we're looking forward to getting him into action."
