Where is Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson (22) headed?
On August 21 (KST), UK outlet ‘HITC’ cited a report from the ‘Daily Mail’ regarding Johnson’s transfer rumours.
The report stated, “Chelsea has shown interest in Johnson, but he prefers a move to their rivals Tottenham.”
It added, “Chelsea has been considering Johnson for a few weeks now. They are keen on bringing in another winger. Last week, they attempted to sign Michael Olise from Crystal Palace but failed.”
Moreover, “Nottingham Forest is 메이저사이트 기준demanding around £50 million (approximately 853 billion KRW) for Johnson. Chelsea is trying to negotiate a lower price.”
Despite Chelsea’s active interest, Johnson is more inclined towards Tottenham. The reason being, “Playtime is most crucial for Johnson. This is why he prefers joining Tottenham.”
The article also mentioned, “Tottenham is equally eager about acquiring Johnson. They seem likely to lead in the transfer race before the deadline.” Johnson, an attacker from Wales, boasts impressive speed and sharp dribbling skills. His ability to beat defenders with quick acceleration or draw fouls is notable. He recorded 10 goals and 3 assists in a total of 44 matches during the 2022-23 season, starting in 33 of the 38 Premier League matches.
Tottenham parted ways with Harry Kane (now with Bayern Munich) this season. It’s natural for their attack to lack the same punch. They are keen on bolstering토토사이트 순위 their forward line, with Johnson being the prime target.
‘HITC’ stated, “Johnson can operate in various forward positions. He offers the versatility Tottenham is looking for. Primarily, he has played as a right winger in his career, a position where Tottenham already has Dejan Kulusevski.”
Additionally, “While Kulusevski had a remarkable start at Tottenham, his performance dwindled last season. Kulusevski prefers cutting in and using his left foot. Coach Nuno Espirito Santo can introduce a right-footed option, and Johnson could fit that role,” analyzed the report.
