Some West Ham supporters on social media have been making big predictions about birthday boy Ben Johnson as the right-back turns 20.
Injury problems are currently preventing Johnson from providing cover for Ryan Fredericks.
However, instead of wishing him a happy birthday, fans predicted that the versatile defender will be key in the event of relegation this season.
One proclaimed that he and Josh Cullen are the kind of players that will stay at the club, whilst another stated that he’ll be the future in the Championship next campaign and one more tipped him to tear the division up.
You may remember Johnson making his Premier League debut at Manchester City last term and holding his own out of position on the left of the defence.
You can see the pick of the Johnson comments below…
He will be important in the championship next season

Ben Johnson is a huge talent and one that, if he wasn’t injured, would have had significant game time in the PL this season due to Fredericks’ injury issues. However, what with the likelihood of relegation, players like Ben Johnson, Cullen are those that will remain at the club.
