Tottenham has been informed by Ange Postecoglou that he wants them to go sign Brennan Johnson before the transfer market ends on Friday.
Johnson has swiftly become a target for Tottenham, and earlier today, sources indicated that they were seriously considering bringing him in before the deadline.Johnson, who performed admirably for Nottingham Forest, is thought to be worth about £50 million to the Midlands club. Given that Spurs would have to spend a lot, that makes the transaction difficult to complete.Alasdair Gold, a well-known Football London journalist, confirmed on social media this evening that Postecoglou has really told Tottenham that Johnson is the player he wants to sign above all others.
Johnson has been the subject of negotiations, according to Gold, and if a deal is reached, it might not be until the day of the deadline.The ‘brilliant’ Johnson, who scored ten goals for Nottingham Forest last season, is regarded as one of the best players to come out of the City Ground in recent memory.
Tottenham wants to invest
It does appear like Tottenham will use part of the proceeds from the Harry Kane deal after all.Johnson would be a wonderful addition for Spurs, and the system Postecoglou is using might benefit greatly from his speed down the wings.Although £50 million may seem like a lot of money, there is a good potential that Johnson may end up being a very successful deal if he continues to develop and score goals.
In any case, it appears that Spurs will be busy as the deadline approaches.
