Brennan Johnson has overcome his difficult start to the 2024-25 season to become a key player for Tottenham Hotspur in recent weeks.

The Welsh international was su🍎bjected to a lot of criticism from fans and pundits for his underwhelming performances for club🗹 and country.

Johnson even deleted his Instagram account in the wake of those events, but s🦩incꦡe then, he has responded in some style with a brilliant goalscoring run.

Son is one of the greatest players in꧟ Tottenham’s recent history and has delivered consistently for the club over the years.

Johnson says he used to watch videos of the Sout🐻h Korean, pinpointing his ability to strike the ball with both feet as a quality that stood out to him.

“Even before I came to Spurs, I used to always watch Sonny,”🧜 said Johnson.

“Not too many videos of hi🐼m specifically but whenever Tottenham played, I’d always watch him.

“Even now, I find it amaz😼ing how both-footed h൲e is. Watching it firsthand is amazing.

“I don’t know if he’s too aware, I haven’t told him anything in particular but he probably knows in the way I ask him questions and how I reach out to♓ him – he underജstands that I definitely respect him very highly as a player.”

Son and Johnson’s stats this season

Johnson scored in six successive games across all competitions for Tottenham earlier this season, a run that was halted when he failed to get his name on 💃the scoreshe♏et against West Ham United earlier this season.
