Tottenham remain keen on Brennan Johnson

Tottenham Hotspur retain interest in Nottingham Forest star Brennan Johnson

According to The Athletic, Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur are still interested in securing the services of Nottingham Forest star Brennan Johnson in the ongoing summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old is attracting much attention after a solid season at the City ground in 2022-23. Having come through the ranks at Nottingham, Johnson is now one of the club’s best players as his reputation continues to soar.

The Welshman is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also do a job out wide if needed. A solid dribbler with an eye for a pass, the youngster is tailor-made for Ange Postecoglou’s attacking setup. The Ability to think out side the box and link up well with teammates should help Tottenham evolve into a side with a multi-pronged serpent leading its attack.

Johnson is attracting much attention from other Premier League clubs but Forest continue to stand firm. Brentford recently had a £35m bid turned down and it remains to be seen if the Bees will up their offer in the coming weeks.

Forest value Johnson at £50m, a big amount for a player with just one season of top flight football to his name. However, at 22, he will only get better and is a long-term investment. Tottenham will certainly be better off adding him to their roster.

Spurs have already brought in an attacking midfielder this summer – James Maddison. Adding Johnson will help Postecoglou rotate the former Leicester City man and also play with dual number tens behind a centre forward. This should make Tottenham difficult to predict and give them the advantage in terms of putting together a fluid attack.

With Harry Kane’s future far from resolved, it is debatable if Spurs see another number 10 as their priority at this moment in time. With a centre-back and an infallible first-choice goalkeeper yet to be brought in, Tottenham have far bigger concerns to contend with this summer.

With the new campaign just weeks away, there is still much work to be done at the north London club. Whether Johnson will see himself rise up the wishlist before the window shuts remains to be seen.

BREAKING NEWS: Tottenham renew the signing of excellent midfielder from…….

Tottenham renew interest in Barcelona midfielder, reports

According to the Times’ Gary Jacob, Tottenham has renewed its interest in Barcelona central midfielder Franck Kessié.

Tottenham’s interest in the 26-year-old dates back to the winter transfer window. The club has intermittently monitored Kessie, renewing its interest as the 2022-23 season ended.

Airwaves went silent for a while, but Jacob believes Tottenham’s interest has recommenced. The Ivorian would cost any suitor about €25 million.

There is still interest from Serie A, but Kessie prefers a move to the top flight. However, Kessie hasn’t approved the potential move to Spurs, at least publicly.

So this, while not new, is still in its embryonic stages.

Kessie is under contract at Barcelona until the end of the 2026 season. He arrived on a free transfer from AC Milan during the summer, just before the 2022-23 campaign.

His preferred position is in central defensive midfield. He played as part of a double defensive pivot during his time at AC Milan and would be expected to slide into the No. 6 role if Spurs land him.

That’s a mammoth-size if.

This rumour is nothing but speculation at this stage.

Considering everything else going on at the club, including the Harry Kane frenzy and the desperation to sign at least one first-choice centre-back, the Kessie-to-Tottenham rumours are so far on the back burner it barely registers.

If it were an earthquake, it would register about a one on the Richter Scale. It’s an intriguing notion but probably nothing more.
