Wales Manager Believes Johnson Can Mix It with the Best at Spurs

Brennan Johnson has made a strong impression at Tottenham since his £47.5 million move from Nottingham Forest, according to Wales boss Robert Page. Page praised Johnson's early promise and believes he can compete at the same level as Spurs captain Son Heung-min.

Johnson's Role at Tottenham Expanding

With Richarlison out with a pelvic injury and James Maddison struggling with an ankle knock, Johnson is expected to have a bigger role to play for Tottenham in their upcoming match against Wolves. Despite his limited playing time so far, Johnson has shown glimpses of his potential and impressed in Monday's match against Chelsea.

Positive Signs for Johnson

Page believes that Johnson's move to a bigger club and training with top-level players will help him reach new heights. He was particularly impressed with the goal Johnson set up for Son Heung-min against Chelsea and feels that Johnson is finding a position that suits him well.

Upcoming Qualifiers for Wales

After Tottenham's match against Wolves, Johnson will join up with the Wales squad for their Euro 2024 qualifiers against Armenia and Turkey. Two wins in these matches will secure a finals spot for Wales in Germany next summer.

No Concerns over Johnson's Fitness

Page dispelled any concerns about Johnson's fitness, stating that any minor injuries he has picked up are just a result of adjusting to new training methods at his new club. He is confident that Johnson will be fully fit for the rest of the season.

Johnson's Versatility a Strength

Johnson has shown his ability to play in multiple positions, including on both flanks and as a number nine. Page praised his pace and believes that defenders will struggle to handle him alongside Daniel James. This versatility gives Wales options and adds competition for places in the team.
