Ramsey on Tottenham new-boy Johnson

Speaking to the media ahead of their Euros Qualifier against Latvia later this evening, Ramsey was asked whether Johnson is the man to provide goals for Wales after Gareth Bale’s retirement.

“He’s an unbelievable talent and has shown over the last year or so at Forest what he’s capable of doing,” the former Arsenal man said.

“Hopefully he can take another step going forward and for Wales, he can be a main part of that for many years to come.

“He has so much ability and it’s about linking up and getting that front three really firing, playing together and giving each other opportunities.”

Johnson will be hoping to make a huge impact at Spurs this season after securing a big-money move to North London.

He’s displayed his potential during his time at Forest but will have to produce more consistently for club and country after his move to North London.

The youngster seems like the perfect fit for Postecoglou’s system due to his pace and tireless work-rate. Johnson has also proven to be a capable finisher during his time at the City Ground and judging by Ramsey’s comments, there’s plenty more to come from the talented forward.
