I'm not saying he'll be as good, he won't be, but at the same age Bale scored 7 and got 2 assists for Spurs in 30 league games, Johnson has 5 goals and 2 assists in 21 games in his first season at this level.
I've little doubt in my mind that, had he chosen England, Johnson would win England caps over his career. Even over their successful last few years they've capped the likes of Jarrod Bowen, Connor Gallagher and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, hardly worldbeaters.
