Tottenham and Wales starlet Brennan Johnson has been tipped to shine at Euro 2020 this summer - and has been backed to 'stuff' Turkey in their opening game. The 20-year-old forward has starred on loan at Lincoln City in League One this season, scoring 11 goals in 41 appearances. His performances have earned him a call-up to the Wales squad for the Euros, and he is expected to play a key role in Rob Page's side. Former Wales international Jason Koumas has backed Johnson to star at the tournament, and believes he has the potential to be a 'real handful' for opposition defenders. "He's a young player with a lot of potential," Koumas told BBC Sport. "He's got good pace, good skill, and a good eye for goal. I think he can be a real handful for defenders at this level." Johnson is likely to start Wales' opening game against Turkey on June 16, and Koumas believes he has the ability to cause the Turkish defence problems. "Turkey have got some good players, but I think Brennan can cause them problems," Koumas added. "He's got the pace to get in behind them, and he's got the skill to create chances for himself and others." Johnson will be looking to make a name for himself at the Euros, and help Wales make a deep run in the tournament. They have been drawn in Group A alongside Turkey, Italy, and Switzerland, and will need to perform well if they are to reach the knockout stages. But with Johnson in their ranks, Wales will be confident of causing an upset or two at the tournament.
