John the up
Steve Cooper has hailed the character of Nottingham Forest’s two-goal hero Brennan Johnson.
The Welsh whizz nabbed the sixth and seventh strikes of his maiden Premier League campaign during yesterday’s spirited 2-2 home draw with Everton.
A Demarai Gray penalty and Abdoulaye Doucoure’s header twice put the Toffees ahead but both strikes were cancelled out via smart finishes from Forest’s talisman.
Cooper has been impressed by the way his 21-year-old forward has bounced back to form after a challenging spell.
The Reds boss explained: “He took a bit of a rocky road before the World Cup break but that was always going to happen — and the other young players in the group are going through it now.
“But he’s performing well and he’s getting good numbers. As always, it’s about continuing to improve. But I see how committed he is and how much he wants to get better.
“He knows he still has a long way to go. That’s natural because of his age and the fact that this is his first year in the Prem. But we’re really pleased with Bren.”
PUMA hunt down Grealish
Manchester City and England ace Jack Grealish has penned a long-term partnership with global sportswear giants PUMA.
Grealish, 27, helped the Citizens lift the Premier League title in his first campaign at the Etihad last term and has nine direct goal contributions in all competitions this season.
The 29-cap international said: “For me, PUMA felt like a perfect fit. They have an amazing history in football and have worked with some of the world’s greatest players.
“I am delighted to join the family and to be a PUMA FUTURE athlete. I am at home on the pitch and want to express myself, which is something I like about the brand — they do things differently and have a great outlook on football.”
