00:00Wales head coach Craig Bellamy insists Brennan Johnson is an elite player, and believes Arsenal
00:07legend Robert Perez endured similar criticism to the Tottenham winger when he first moved
00:13to the Premier League.
00:14Johnson was signed by Spurs in a £47.5 million deal from Nottingham Forest just over a year
00:20ago, and the 23-year-old has come under fire for his inconsistent performances since his
00:26move.
00:27However, the Welshman has been in excellent form of recent weeks, scoring in each of his
00:31last five games for Ant Postocoglu's side.
00:35His high intensity is through the roof, and he is elite, Bellamy said.
00:39I remember Robert Perez for a whole season was a waste of money, and the next season
00:44he wins player of the year.
00:46It can work that way at times.
00:48Brennan is young and I believe that we are all seeing now what the talent is allowing
00:53us to see, and hopefully that continues.
