Adam Johnson<\/a> has praised Manchester City<\/a> team-mate Carlos Tevez<\/a> as the club look to keep hold of their wantaway star.<\/p>\n

England winger Johnson has stated how big a blow it would be to the club if they lose the Argentine forward who helped them to an FA Cup win and qualification for the Champions League this season.<\/p>\n

He told The Mirror<\/em>: “He carries us sometimes with his goals and his drive. He is probably the best player I have played with.<\/p>\n

“Some of the goals and some of the stuff he does in training is just unbelievable. I hope we keep hold of him, just like all the City fans do, because Carlos will be a major part next season when we are playing in the Champions League.”<\/p>\n

Tevez has been linked with a host of clubs as rumours of homesickness still circle the forward who moved to England five years ago in a controversial transfer to West Ham United.<\/p>\n

Johnson, 23, who started his career at Middlesbrough, was also keen to point out just how rare players like his club captain are.<\/p>\n

He continued: “He keeps himself to himself mostly and does his talking on the pitch. That’s what I like about him.<\/p>\n

“He would be very hard to replace. There’s probably only five or six strikers out there who get you that many goals a season at the highest level. We have one of them, so it would be great if we could keep him.”
