Brennan Johnson is ready to explode at Everton after his 100% international display

Everton supporters are still waiting for Brennan Johnson to burst into life following his move from Crystal Palace during the summer.

The deal saw long-time servant Dwight McNeil go the other way, with fans up and down the Premier League questioning the details behind it all.

Despite scoring Tottenham Hotspur's Europa League final winner against Manchester United in 2024-25, the winger has rarely shown his best side.

Although Johnson already has a goal and assist for the Toffees, David Moyes will be desperate to see more from him in the coming weeks.

He's often heavily criticised on international duty as well, especially after his missed penalty as Wales crashed out of the 2026 World Cup qualification play-offs in March.

However, there have been some very bright signs recently, and Moyes might have Wales manager Craig Bellamy to thank for that.

Danny Ward's mistake, having already made two world class saves, ultimately made the difference between Wales and Denmark on Sunday, 4 October.

Former Man United striker Rasmus Hoijlund stroked home from the penalty spot, but there was a lot to like about the performance.

Johnson, especially, was a livewire, nearly setting up the perfect chance after overlapping Neco Williams on the right flank and driving into the box.

It's probably the most that the Red Wall have seen from the 25-year-old, and his stats during the game certainly back that up.

In 76 minutes, he created a chance, took two shots, completed 100 per cent of his dribbles, made three recoveries, and entered into seven duels [FotMob].

This is exactly the kind of winger that Moyes wants to see in action at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, full of confidence and eager to take his opponent on.

David Moyes dealt new blow ahead of Hull City

The international break has been a tricky one for several Premier League teams, especially when it comes to key injuries.

In the final third, Tyrique George has starred in his one game for the England Under-21s, while Tyler Dibling watched on from the bench.

Both Thierno Barry and Jack Grealish, unsurprisingly, missed out on call-ups, so those two should be fit and firing for once the season resumes.

Defensively, however, with Merlin Rohl already injured, Moyes couldn't afford anymore. Now, it would appear that Vitalii Mykolenko has picked up a knock.

It isn't known whether the Ukrainian will be fit to face Hull City on Sunday, 11 October, but another full-back gone would be a huge blow.
