Tottenham fast weighing up a bid to sign 22-year-old former EPL young star

Tottenham Hotspur are “weighing up a bid” for Nottingham Forest forward Brennan Johnson this summer, and the package might include players.

Ange Postecoglou, the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has had a pretty productive pre-season as supporters get a taste of his new-look offensive style, which contrasts with the more rigid ways of predecessors like Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho.

The 57-year-old is entrusted with instilling optimism and hope in this Tottenham team after Conte’s tenure ended on a sour note, with the Italian publicly criticizing his teammates before departing.

There will be no European football at Spurs this season, unfortunately, and Postecoglou will be aiming to fix that by the end of the 2023/2024 campaign.

The Spurs boss has been boosted by a plethora of new signings to help in that regard, after the club completed deals for goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, youngster Ashley Phillips, defender Micky van de Ven, playmaker James Maddison, winger Manor Solomon and striker Alejo Veliz.

Postecoglou, speaking to media recently, suggested that his side could add more defensive signings and urges Tottenham to do so – as he aims to play aggressively out from the back.

“It’s not done yet,” Postecoglou added.

“We need reinforcements in that central defensive area.” We require defenders who can work in an aggressive formation, defend effectively, and defend behind them. In the following days, we’ll be looking to bring in a couple in that area.”

Tottenham have also been connected with acquisitions in the future, including Forest winger Johnson, according to a report by The Telegraph and journalist Matt Law.

Johnson, who shone for Forest under Steve Cooper last season, is a target for Spurs and might be the subject of an unusual late offer.

Indeed, it is believed Tottenham are “weighing up a bid” for the Wales international, and this approach could involve them offering one of Djed Spence, Joe Rodon or Bryan Gil in an exchange-type deal.

Not much else is said on when they could make this proposal, or if there is any money involved, but it comes as an interesting update given Johnson’s potential.

How good is Brennan Johnson?
Over the course of 2022/2023, the 22-year-old showed out as one of Forest’s major attacking players. According to WhoScored, Johnson was in the top two for efforts on goal and critical passes made per 90 minutes.

He also contributed 11 goals and three assists in the English Premier League, with Wales national team head Robert Page earlier praising the forward.

In 2022, Page stated of Johnson’s form that he’s “almost the finished article” and a “wonderful” player.

“Brennan could have made a move in January,” Page (via The Independent) speculated.

“However, he decided to stay because he was at a club where he could play and enjoy his football.”

“That speaks volumes about him. He didn’t go chasing the money. He’s almost the finished article now and Forest have got a wonderful player on their hands.

“I’ve been to watch him a few times and he’s playing with freedom. He’s really enjoying his football.”
