If you’re constantly underperforming in scoring goals … Yeah.“I can do what we can do is encourage the players, support them, be positive. I will never blame [Nathaniel] Clyne [for not scoring] when he gets a free header at the far post, it’s just not his nature, so he gets there because he gets all the effort he tries it, but it’s not maybe his biggest strength scoring goals, but yes, we need it from this position.“Sometimes when you [look at] the statistics, the one with the most assists is Marc Guéhi, a centre-back, second most is [Maxence] Lacroix, a centre-back, so this is just what we have to improve.”Crystal Palace could face a transfer battle for JohnsonThe Eagles are not the only Premier League side eyeing a move for the 24-year-old Tottenham star in January.As many as five English clubs are reportedly interested in Johnson, with a potential bidding war thus on the cards for the player.One of those is Aston Villa, who have allegedly spoken to the Spurs winger’s camp about a January transfer to Villa Park.READ MORE: Tottenham one of three clubs preparing an offer for £40m midfielder in JanuaryThe post Oliver Glasner sends big transfer hint amid links to Tottenham’s Brennan Johnson appeared first on Spurs Web.
