Tottenham will now concentrate on Brennan Johnson after missing out on Barcelona star Ansu Fati, who is poised to join Brighton and Hove Albion
Spurs are still looking for a new forward to fill the vacuum left by Harry Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich earlier this month. Fati would have been ideal, but it appears that Johnson is now the primary target.
According to reports, Ange Postecoglou’s first aim is Johnson, but Tottenham chose to make a surprise deal to buy Ansu Fati from Barcelona yesterday.
A deal appeared to be on the cards, but Brighton swooped in at the last minute, and it now appears that the young Spaniard will join them.
Tottenham, according to the Daily Mail, are still interested in the ‘devastating’ Johnson and are planning a late offer to sign him before the transfer window closes tomorrow.
Brentford are also said to be interested, although Spurs appear to be the favorites at this point, as long as they splash the cash.
Brennan Johnson is an excellent player.
Yes, his name isn’t as enticing as Ansu Fati, who was once dubbed the “new Lionel Messi,” but the 22-year-old is very familiar with the Premier League and would take considerably less time to adjust at Spurs.
According to the source, Brentford are back in the running after walking away from the agreement, which complicates matters for Tottenham as we approach the deadline.
Spurs, on the other hand, should be able to land their man if they match Forest’s asking price.
