Deal set in few hours as Tottenham to complete £50m talks with Nottingham Forest star

Brennan Johnson has been spotted at the Nottingham Forest training ground this afternoon as the rumours of a potential move to Tottenham rumble on. 

Sky Sports filmed the youngster arriving for training and Johnson is set to travel to London today either way, with Forest taking on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this weekend.

The reporter claims that Sky Sports have heard contrasting updates from sources, with some saying a deal is now close and others indicating that may be a little premature.

Daniel Levy is leading Brennan Johnson talks

The Athletic have also reported that Forest have increased their bid for Ibrahim Sangare from PSV, but a deal likely depends on whether Johnson stays or goes.

 

Daniel Levy is said to have been leading talks for Tottenham and has attempted to haggle the £50m price tag down during conversations with Forest owner, Evangelos Marinakis.

The club are said to be happy to sell Johnson if the price is right, but are equally happy to keep him in Nottingham if Spurs fall short of their valuation.

On deadline day, you are always just minutes away from a deal being done or a deal completely collapsing. However, it does feel like this one is likely to go through for £40m plus £10m in add-ons
