‘Very concrete’: Fabrizio Romano shares late night update on Brennan Johnson for Tottenham fans
Fabrizio Romano has shared a late-night update on Tottenham Hotspur’s move for Nottingham Forest forward Brennan Johnson.
On Monday night, Romano claimed in his most recent YouTube video that Tottenham was now negotiating a contract to sign Johnson.
Spurs still have a lot to accomplish before the deadline on Friday in order to trim their excessive roster and improve Postecoglou’s attacking alternatives.
Gift Orban of Gent and Jonathan David of Lille have both been mentioned in connection with a move to North London as Spurs search for offensive reinforcements in the wake of Harry Kane’s departure.
Romano, however, asserts that Tottenham is moving forward with its efforts to sign Johnson before the window closes.
Romano said in his most recent YouTube video that Forest had rejected Brentford’s most recent offer for Johnson.
Spurs and Forest are still in talks as they try to reach an agreement before the deadline on Friday.
Brennan Johnson’s status is “very concrete” for Tottenham, according to Romano, “because Nottingham Forest today rejected a bid from Brentford for Johnson.”
Johnson is no longer a priority for Brentford, who are now looking at other players, and Tottenham are working on the transaction. The talks are still going on.
Prior of Friday’s deadline, Johnson seemed to have become Spurs’ top priority.
Postecoglou allegedly informed Tottenham that he wants them to sign the 22-year-old, according to Alasdair Gold.
The Welshman made an impact for Forest last time out, contributing to 11 goals in his Premier League debut.
After losing Kane, Spurs are undoubtedly searching for new forward options, and Johnson is an interesting one, even though he won’t be viewed as Kane’s replacement.
The Forest winger can move about the frontline and would give Dejan Kulusevski genuine competition on the right side.
Tottenham will be hoping to finish this up before the deadline on Friday.
“For Tottenham, the situation of Brennan Johnson is very concrete because today Nottingham Forest rejected a bid from Brentford for Johnson,” Romano said.
“Now Brentford are looking at different players so Johnson is no longer a priority and Tottenham are working on the deal. Negotiations are ongoing.”
