Brennan Johnson is set to earn his 50th Wales cap against Norway this Saturday, becoming the third-youngest Welshman to reach the milestone. The Everton forward made his debut in 2020 at age 19 and has one major tournament appearance at the 2022 World Cup. Johnson switched allegiances from England in 2018, stating he "never looked back" after joining Wales.
He expressed happiness with his achievements but emphasized there is "definitely more to come," particularly regarding qualifying for Euro 2028 in Cardiff. Johnson reflected on the significance of 50 caps, noting it "sneaks up on you a little bit." He credited previous Wales squads, particularly the Euro 2016 semi-finalists, for instilling confidence in the current group. Johnson began his career at Nottingham Forest, helping them reach the Premier League, before a £47.5m move to Tottenham.
He joined Everton in the summer after a brief Crystal Palace spell. Wales face Norway at Ullevaal Stadion looking to build on previous successes and raise their levels in front of home fans at Euro 2028.
