Brennan Johnson

[Raziel]

Richarlison, Werner and Bissouma would be the first ones I’d get rid of. The midfield is pretty average and we need a standout player as we currently have a lot of 6/10 players. Same goes for the forwards, including Johnson. Not saying I’d sell him but I’d definitely look to upgrade him in the summer and then it’s up to him to develop his game and fight for his place.

The side lacks an elite player (Kane and Son in the past, Eriksen in his prime, etc.)

- Werner will be released
- Bissouma will be moved on (contract talks with Bentancur gives us the 1+1, we were always likely to only keep one)
- Richi if he has a buyer makes sense (not physically reliable)

Replace with a RW, CM and 2nd CF would significantly improve the side

Johnson being bench instead of starter is a good thing (to your point, let him fight for that place), having a player capable of scoring 10-15 goals a season on bench is a luxury.

I think his particular fate is tied to the incoming manager/system
