Tottenham are about to bid for ‘devastating’ striker, it’s imminent – journalist
Transfer deadline day has arrived, and Tottenham Hotspur are set to table a bid to sign Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest today.
After losing Harry Kane to a free transfer last month, Ange Postecoglou’s team is in need of a new attacker. Numerous people have been associated with them, but none more so than Forest star Johnson.
The newest was disclosed by journalist Ben Jacobs.
Tottenham’s bid for Brennan Johnson is imminent
Brennan Johnson is a target for Tottenham right now, and that is no longer a secret.
The North Londoners have been mentioned as potential suitors for the Nottingham Forest forward for some weeks, and today their interest might actually result in a bid.
According to reports, the Reds are reportedly asking for £50 million for Johnson after rejecting a £43 million offer from Brentford earlier this week.
Spurs will need to make a higher offer if they want to sign him, and according to Jacobs on GiveMeSport, a bid from Tottenham is about to be made.
They have given Brennan Johnson priority, and we have known this for the past week and a half, he claimed. Whether they can reach a deal with Nottingham Forest is all that matters.
I believe Nottingham Forest are sticking to their guns with their valuation of Johnson, which is why Tottenham may have to pay a little bit over the odds in order to get a deal done. In contrast to the James Maddison deal, in which Tottenham was able to move quickly and obtain a lower package than was anticipated or was Leicester’s position.
But Johnson will soon face a bid. By the time people read this, it might have already touched down. He currently ranks as Tottenham’s top priority.
TBR View:
Tottenham is only responsible for itself for waiting till the last day of the transfer window.
Since Brentford rejected a sizable bid from Nottingham Forest this week, Spurs will need to spend a lot of money to complete this deal. Nottingham Forest currently hold all the cards.
It’s unclear at this time whether Daniel Levy would be willing to pay above average for the ‘devastating’ Johnson.
In the ensuing hours, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
