Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly confident of signing Brennan Johnson from Steve Cooper’s Nottingham Forest on the final day of the summer transfer window.
Tottenham Hotspur wants to buy Brennan Johnson from Premier League rival Nottingham Forest today, according to 90min.
According to the source, Spurs are “continuing talks” with Forest and are “growing in confidence” about closing a deal for Johnson.
The 22-year-old forward for Wales has reportedly had attention from Chelsea and Brentford, but 90min claims that his “preferred destination” is Tottenham.
Forest want as much as £50 million in transfer fees for the Welshman, according to the report.
Exciting Brennan Johnson update for Tottenham Hotspur
That Tottenham Hotspur are growing in confidence about getting a deal done with Nottingham Forest for Brennan Johnson is very exciting for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium faithful.
That Johnson wants to join Tottenham and Forest themselves are willing to sell indicates that a deal is likely to happen today.
It seems that it is only a matter of time before a deal goes through.
Johnson has made 41 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
The forward has scored eight goals and given three assists in those games.

With eight goals and three assists in the Premier League to help Nottingham Forest stay in the top division and get to the Carabao Cup semifinals, Brennan Johnson was one of the team’s best players last season.

While allegations from The Telegraph claim that a £40 million bid has been rejected for the winger, reports from Sky Sports indicate that Johnson is a priority target for the North London team.
The source also states that Tottenham is preparing to make an upgraded approach of about £50 million, so Nottingham Forest may have to fight late to hold onto their attacker.
