Johnson driven by desire to win


Midfielder Bradley Johnson is happy to be Norwich City's 'Mr Nasty' to keep the Canaries in the Barclays Premier League.


The 24-year-old is one of half a dozen new additions brought in by manager Paul Lambert in a bid to give his promotion-winning squad a foothold in the top flight.Lambert was impressed by Bradley's battling performances in the past couple of season for Leeds United, who like the Canaries came up from League One in 2009/2010, saying: "He has got a little bit of a nasty streak in him, not over-the-top, but he wont be shy from it."Bradley, who joined Norwich on a free transfer, believes that fighting spirit can only help during what is expected to be a long and hard campaign for the Norfolk club."I wouldn't say it's a nasty streak - it's just the desire to win," Bradley said. "I am a sore loser, I can tell you that."I want to win every game, so that shows in my performance with how I work."I have a passion and desire, am a box-to-box player and hopefully Norwich will see the best of me."Like myself most of the lads have come from the lower leagues, we have got that hunger and desire to play in the top flight."We have been given the chance to do it and we all want to stay there."Johnson, born in Hackney, was once on the books at Arsenal before he moved on to Cambridge United, then Northampton Town in 2005, and was transferred to Elland Road three seasons later.The midfielder made more than 100 appearances for Leeds, scoring 17 goals including a long-range strike in last season's FA Cup replay against Arsenal.After the Yorkshire club missed out on promotion, finishing seventh in the Championship, Johnson is relishing his first taste of top-flight action with the Canaries."I have come a long way, and hopefully now I am ready," he said."It has always been my dream to play in the Premier League, and now I have got that chance."Paul Lambert is building something here, and I want to be part of that."I know how good the team is and what a good bunch of lads they are."I have settled in well already and I can't wait for the season to start now."The doom-mongers have already written off Norwich's chances of making their stay back among the elite clubs of English football anything more than just a fleeting visit.Johnson, though, is in no doubt the squad can prove their critics wrong.He said: "We are a hungry team, and will just take each game as it comes, going in with the mentality to take all three points, then let's see where that gets us."If that means we will get 17th or higher, then happy days."
