Tottenham face Fulham today and have a great opportunity to maintain their lead in the race for the top four.
With Aston Villa not playing until Sunday, Spurs have an opportunity to raise the pressure after thrashing Unai Emery‘s team last weekend.
Tottenham‘s ability to generate goals from all of their attacking players has been a crucial factor in their success. Richarlison, Dejan Kulusevski, and summer acquisition Brennan Johnson have all contributed, but Heung-Min Son has been particularly impressive.
Speaking about Johnson on Optus Sport’s Team Talks broadcast, Jermaine Beckford stated that the Tottenham players are beginning to trust the forward.
Tottenham players begin to trust Brennan Johnson.
Speaking about the former Nottingham Forest player, Beckford revealed that he is very thrilled to see Johnson blossom at Spurs.
“Brennan Johnson is one of many who will be relieved that he is finally getting his bearings. He has all it takes to be a successful Premier League player. He has speed – you can’t defend against it – he has control, and his awareness is increasing. His influence on the team is growing, as are his trust levels; they are beginning to believe in him more, and I am excited for him,” Beckford added.
Improving through time
Tottenham raised eyebrows when they paid more than £40 million to sign Brennan Johnson this summer.
However, in retrospect, that money appears to have been effectively spent. The Welsh forward is been producing for Ange Postecoglou, and he may even get the nod this weekend over someone like Richarlison.
As Beckford points out, Johnson‘s speed makes him a headache for defenders, and the Spurs coaching staff has made extensive use of it.
Johnson‘s performance should improve over time, and Tottenham will have a top Premier League forward.
