'Johnston's unbelievable, we need him' - Styles
West Bromwich Albion left-back Callum Styles said team-mate Mikey Johnston is "needed" to help the Championship side make a promotion push this season.
The Republic of Ireland winger was originally tipped to depart The Hawthorns for Brazilian side Flamengo, however, the deal fell through and Johnston joined the Baggies for their preseason trip to Austria instead.
Johnston's presence turned out to be a positive one, as he provided the assist for West Brom's goal in their 1-1 draw with Dynamo Kyiv.
"We are all glad he didn't end up going over [to Brazil] because he's an unbelievable player," Styles told BBC Radio WM.
"He's what we need to be fighting in the league, where we want to be."
