Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams extended his heartfelt praise to his close friend and former teammate, Brennan Johnson, following Johnson’s much-anticipated move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Neco Williams, speaking to The Sunday Mirror, offered his insights on Johnson’s recent transition from Nottingham Forest to the bustling North London club. The transfer saga that culminated in Johnson’s £47.5 million move to Spurs marked a significant chapter in his career, and Williams was quick to highlight the newfound confidence exuding from his friend.

Williams observed, “Brennan looks very confident after leaving Nottingham Forest. We went to London with a few of the Welsh lads and celebrated with a little drink and some nice food. It was a good meet-up as well as a chance to say congratulations to Brennan on his move. I am sure he’s excited. Hopefully, he can now kick on with Spurs. You can see that his confidence has gone to the next level.”

The journey from Nottingham Forest to Tottenham Hotspur was not without its share of drama, with Spurs narrowly beating the summer transfer deadline to secure Johnson’s services. However, it was evident that the excitement and anticipation surrounding the move had only served to fuel Johnson’s determination.

As Williams continued to reminisce about their shared footballing journey, he highlighted the enduring friendship that has grown since their early days playing together for both Nottingham Forest and the Welsh national team. “I’ve known him for quite a long time now as my first camp with Wales was with the Under-16’s,” Williams recalled. “Since I’ve known Brennan from 16, he’s always stepped up, and hopefully, he can keep progressing and reach the highest levels.”

Williams’ words of encouragement and admiration for Brennan Johnson serve as a testament to the bonds formed in the world of football, transcending club loyalties. As Johnson embarks on this exciting new chapter with Tottenham Hotspur, the support of a close friend and fellow footballer like Neco Williams can only serve to bolster his confidence and aspirations for success at the highest level.
