Tottenham are close to agreeing with Nottingham Forest to sign Brennan Johnson ahead of the transfer deadline.
A £40 million offer has already been turned down by Forest to Spurs, but a deal for the Welsh striker is moving fast now. Johnson prepared to travel to London on Friday morning for a medical from Tottenham ahead of a £45 million transfer
The north London club wanted to confirm some further spending from the club before making a new offer for the 22-year-old and they remain confident those deals will cross the line.
Japhet Tanganga is close to agreeing a move to Augsburg from the Bundesliga, while Tanguy Ndombele, Davinson Sánchez and Eric Dier could also all leave the club before the end of the day.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is also said to have been the subject of a bid from London rivals Fulham.
Brennan Johnson is close to a move to Tottenham after reaching an agreement with Forest
Ange Postecoglou is a big fan of Johnson and would like to add the star to his attacking capabilities
Forest had been poised to sell Johnson since the end of last season, having rejected two bids from Brentford for their own star, plus an initial inquiry from Tottenham on Thursday.
Ange Postecoglou is a big fan of the player and his ability to play in a number of positions in attack.
The Forest Academy graduate has made 108 appearances for the club, scoring 29 goals, while providing 12 assists.
Steve Cooper has had a busy week strengthening the Forest ranks before the period closes
He played in Forest’s Carabao Cup defeat to Burnley mid-week in what now appears to be his last game for the club.
If Johnson’s move goes as expected, Forest will set his sights on PSV midfielder Ibrahim Sangare. The fee and personal conditions are not expected to be a problem. It is then up to the player to decide whether to give up Champions League football to join Forest.
It looks like Forest have already beefed up their attack as they approach a deal for Chelsea player Callum Hudson-Odoi.
It seems Steve Cooper’s men have beaten the competition from Fulham due to the signature of the winger, who is in the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge.
His arrival would continue a busy last week for Forest, who have already secured deals for Brazilian defender Murillo and Nuno Tavares, who has moved from Arsenal.
