Tottenham Hotspur transfer news – Brennan Johnson

Despite the fact that club talisman Harry Kane ended his 19-year association with the team this summer, it seems that the good times have returned to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Kane left Tottenham for Bayern Munich earlier this month as part of a £100 million transfer deal, but his absence doesn’t seem to have been felt.

To make sure Spurs have enough coverage in the offensive departments, there are rumors that manager Ange Postecoglou could test the market for another signing in the final week of the transfer window.

The north London team is particularly interested in Johnson, who earlier in the window had been the target of a failed £30 million deal from rival capital club Brentford. Johnson is valued at £32 million by Transfermarkt. The Daily Mail, however, asserts that Tottenham is now prepared to test Nottingham Forest’s determination with a counteroffer.

According to the report, Tottenham might provide cash and a number of players to Nottingham Forest, who is having trouble luring their top targets. Many players are willing to leave Hotspur Way this summer, and Davinson Sanchez is being mentioned as a potential piece in a trade deal.

What has Rudy Galetti said about Brennan Johnson and Tottenham Hotspur?

When asked if Johnson would perhaps leave Nottingham Forest and join Tottenham this summer, Galetti responded that Spurs were considering the idea along with a number of other targets.

Regarding the current scenario, Galetti stated  that Tottenham is focused on finding a successor for Harry Kane.

“Talks will continue for Jonathan David and Gift Orban, who continue to be the top candidates on the list.

Along with Chelsea, Spurs are looking into the possibility of signing Johnson, who might leave Nottingham Forest in the last days of the transfer window.

What’s next for Tottenham Hotspur this summer?

Galetti said that Tottenham might decide to replace Kane by signing a more conventional number-nine target. And according to Fabrizio Romano, a trade expert, the 2008 League Cup champions are interested in both Orban and David, as  previously reported.

Yes, both players are valued, but as we speak, there are still no formal negotiations underway for either player, the Italian journalist noted.

They had some connections on the player’s side for Orban. Orban is interested in maybe moving to Premier League football, so they pursued the player and had good contacts, but there is yet to be an official bid.

Whether Spurs act quickly to sign either Orban (rated at £17 million by Transfermarkt) or David (valued at £50 million by Transfermarkt), or whether they decide to test the local market and sign Johnson in its place, will only become clear with time.
