JOHNSON GETS BOSS' BACKING

Western Mail

March 23, 2026

Craig Bellamy has backed Brennan Johnson to fire for Wales after struggling to justify his big-money move to Crystal Palace.

- PHIL BLANCHE

Johnson's £35m transfer from Tottenham to Palace was among the biggest deals of the January window, but the 24-year-old has yet to open his goal account at Selhurst Park.

The winger scored 18 goals for Tottenham last season and wrote his name in Spurs folklore with the Europa League final winner against Manchester United in Bilbao.

But Johnson has now gone four months since scoring, with his last goal coming in Wales' 7-1 crushing of North Macedonia in World Cup qualifying.
