David Beckham has been vocal in his support for the promising talents in the soccer world, which extends beyond his impact as a club owner. The Los Blancos legend played a crucial role in supporting the career milestones of his ex-Red Devils teammate’s son. Notably, Beckham expressed his gratitude in a message for the 22-year-old prospect’s recent move to Tottenham Hotspur in this season’s transfer deadline.
Tottenham made some crucial signings in this season to improve their position in the Premier League, including James Maddison. Spurs experienced a major setback after their marque striker, Harry Kane, departed to sign a lucrative contract with Bayern Munich. As a result, Postecoglou’s side signed this Welsh forward from Nottingham Forest to reinforce the offensive strength of the squad.

Brennan Johnson, son of former Red Devils player David Johnson, inked a six-year contract worth $58.7 million with Tottenham after his successful spell with Nottingham Forest. Previously, the right winger made 108 appearances for Forest and netted 29 goals. He made a substantial contribution to the team’s promotion that grabbed the attention of the European giants.
Additionally, Johnson’s notable highlight of his young career is David Beckham’s praise for his achievements in the domestic fixtures. The United icon messaged the Welsh starlet ahead of his Championship play-off final as well as the Premier League advancement with Forest. Beckham also extended his best wishes on the winger’s staggering deal with Spurs. Johnson remarked in an interview, “Coming from a player like that it’s crazy. As anyone, it’s disbelief for me that he’d message me and wish me good luck. I don’t take it for granted. I appreciate him taking the time because I know he’s very busy”.
Meanwhile, Brennan Johnson struggled to make a substantial impact on the Spurs due to the lack of game time in the league. Tottenham’s manager has an abundance of attacking options that raises uncertainty for the 22-year-old in the starting lineup for this season.

Can Brennan Johnson cement his position at Spurs?
Johnson appeared in just four games and commenced in one in this season. The Forest starlet utilized his pace to produce an impressive assist for Richarlison in the 2-1 triumph against Crystal Palace. However, the Welsh international is facing challenges for a spot in the first team with the likes of Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski, and Manor Solomon.
Apparently, Brennan Johnson has staged for a mere 110 minutes of playing time in the Premier League with Tottenham. Postecoglou commended the winger’s dedication to improve his fitness during the training sessions. With Richarlison’s inconsistency this season, Johnson may view this as an ideal opportunity to make his mark against Chelsea and extend their unbeaten run in the league.
