In a surprising move on deadline day, the 22-year-old striker joined Tottenham for a hefty £45 million.
This transfer possibility has set the stage for a potential face-off between him and his former team, Arsenal, in the upcoming north London derby.
When asked about the deal, Aaron Ramsey couldn’t help but jest, saying, “I wish it weren’t to Tottenham.”

Johnson’s Significance for Wales
Ramsey didn’t stop there; he emphasized Johnson’s importance for the Welsh national team as well.
He believes that Johnson will play a pivotal role in the years to come, and everyone is eagerly anticipating his development on this new platform.

Tottenham’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, was unable to give Johnson his debut in the recent match against Burnley.
However, he shared his insights into why the club made a substantial investment in this young and promising talent.
According to Postecoglou, Johnson is a “real threat in the front third” and brings a unique dimension to the team.
