Brennan Johnson offered a few details in a behind-the-scenes video detailing his transfer from Nottingham Forest to Tottenham Hotspur.

Brennan Johnson will be counting down the days until he can make his Tottenham debut. Joining the Lilywhites in a deal worth £47.5million on transfer deadline day, his move from Nottingham Forest came too late for him to feature for his new club in their Premier League clash at Burnley on Saturday.

Now on international duty with Wales as they prepare for fixtures against South Korea and Latvia,

Johnson will do everything he can to get back into Ange Postecoglou’s starting lineup against Sheffield United when he returns to Hotspur Way. Spurs face the Blades at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, September 16, before a difficult end-of-month schedule that includes the North London Derby and a home match against Liverpool.

The first North London Derby of the season will take place at the Emirates Stadium once more, with Spurs looking to avenge their 3-1 loss at Arsenal last season. Johnson is looking forward to and, more significantly, prepared for the match against Mikel Arteta’s players, which he may start if he seizes his opportunity.

Another topic of discussion in the video is the player’s Tottenham shirt number. Johnson wore No.20 at Nottingham Forest but was unable to inherit the number at Spurs due to Fraser Forster’s holding of it, thus he chose No.22.

He does like the number, having previously sought it at the City Ground only to discover that it had already been taken by one of his comrades.

“To be honest, when I was at Forest when I first got No.20, I did want No.22 there and one of the boys had it,” he stated. “I like the number and I think it’s a nice, clean looking number.”

Ben Davies, a Tottenham player, had a role in Johnson’s relocation to the city. Teammates on the international stage, the left-sided defender’s compliments about the club sold the winger on the transfer.

“I spoke to Ben, who said unbelievable things about the club and was really positive with me,” Johnson revealed. “Everyone I’ve spoken to believes that now is the right time to join the club because it’s on the rise, so I’m really excited to come here now.”
