Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Brennan Johnson from Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest during the summer transfer season, according to The Athletic.
According to the source, Brentford had a bid of £35 million knocked down for Johnson.
Forest are hoping for up to £50 million in transfer fees for the Wales international winger, who has “a real talent” according to Forest icon Stuart Pearce on Sky Sports Football in May 2022.
Tottenham are “carefully monitoring Johnson’s situation,” according to The Athletic.
Spurs should not pay £50 million for Nottingham Forest winger Brennan Johnson.
In our opinion, Tottenham Hotspur should not pay £50 million for Nottingham Forest winger Brennan Johnson in the summer transfer window.
That is simply too much money to pay for for a 22-year-old who does not have a lot of experience in top-flight football.
Yes, Johnson has been part of the Forest first team for a number of years now and did well in the Championship, but he has had just one season in the Premier League.
To be eligible for such a transfer price, the winger must have spent at least two seasons in the top flight.
In 38 Premier League appearances, the Wales international winger has scored eight goals and provided three assists.
We don’t think Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will pay £50 million for a 22-year-old winger.
Spurs will not compete in the UEFA Champions League next season.
The club from North London will attempt to finish in the top four of the Premier League table.
Forest’s key goal for upcoming season will be to escape relegation from the Championship.
