Spurs are preparing a bid to recruit a forward for £50 million even sooner than Mudryk wants to join
TOTTENHAM PREPARING BID TO SIGN £50M PREMIER LEAGUE FORWARD
Brennan Johnson is available for transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, while Brentford appears to be exploring elsewhere.
Despite interest from Chelsea and West Ham United, Brennan Johnson wants to join Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham is currently prepared to make a bid for Johnson.
According to rumors, Nottingham Forest has turned down a bid of £35 million from Brentford and now wants to pay around £50 million for Johnson.
After making an offer for Brentford forward Nicolas Gonzalez, the Bees now seem to be shifting their attention to a different target.
Although Brentford may no longer be a contender, Chelsea and West Ham United are still interested, with Tottenham appearing to be the favorite.
According to reports, Johnson prefers to sign with Tottenham because he thinks doing so will give him the best chance to play frequently.
As the transfer window nears its conclusion, Johnson seems to be Tottenham’s top target as they want speed in their attack.
According to the source, Tottenham may provide players to Forest as part of the transaction in an effort to reduce the price.
Tottenham is willing to allow other players to travel to the City Ground if possible, and defender Davinson Sanchez is one possibility.
Brennan Johnson makes sense for Tottenham Hotspur
We can understand the major excitement surrounding a potential move for Gent forward Gift Orban in recent weeks.
The Nigerian looks to be an absolute goalscoring sensation and should have a huge future in the game.
Tottenham fans have been hoping for Orban to arrive but Tottenham could end up paying more to bring in Johnson.
Tottenham may believe that the Welshman, who is a homegrown athlete and has already played one season of Premier League football, may have a greater immediate impact.
Last year, Johnson scored eight goals and caused a lot of trouble for Premier League defenders with his lightning-fast pace.
Johnson fits the bill for Spurs, who appear to be looking to add a quick attacker who can play anywhere around the front line.
The 22-year-old was measured as the second-fastest player in the Premier League last season, only behind Kyle Walker and ahead of Mykhailo Mudryk.
Johnson might not have Orban’s allure or glitz, but he matches Tottenham’s needs, and if they can get some periphery players in the trade, this could be a stroke of genius for Spurs.
