Tottenham Hotspur finally came to a conclusion that they will sign Brennan Johnson (Wales winger). They made this agreement on deadline day after Ange Postecoglou pushed Spurs to lock in his transfer from Nottingham Forest.
Tottenham sees Johnson as a major part of the new project after they had sold Harry Cane. This was made known by The Telegraph. He was Postecoglou’s top target. He, as an Australian, looks to make arrangements for a new attacking style in north London come this season.
Postecoglou really sees what Johnson has to offer. That’s why he pushed Tottenham to conclude a transfer before the sales period comes to an end. However, Spurs made it known to the public his arrival in a £47.5m deal as the window closed. Nottingham Forest retains a 10 percent sell-on clause for their club-record sale.
Johnson Gets No. 22 Shirt at Tottenham After Joining on Deadline Day
At Tottenham, Johnson will put on the No22 shirt, and he will sign a six-year contract to leave his old-time team, Nottingham Forest. Back in the day, the Nottingham joined the Reds in 2009. He has made 109 senior appearances. Additionally, He has offered 29 goals and assisted 12.
At the City Ground, Johnson has played in different positions, like the front line. Steve Cooper, his coach, became very happy with his eight goals and the three assists in his 41 Premier League games. So far, only Taiwo Awoniyi has scored more goals than Johnson. He scored 10 in the 2022-2023 season.
There is a Reason Postecoglou Push to Sign the Nottingham Forest Product
Johnson is a very good football player who can play in different positions on the field, like the sides or the middle. This is one of the reasons why Postecoglou wanted him to join Tottenham from Nottingham Forest. However, we’re not sure if this was the most important reason why Postecoglou really wanted him in the team.
Johnson is fast in terms of speed. When he clocked as the second-fast speed in the Premier League last season, the Spurs boss noticed it. Wales boss calls the forward “wonderful.” This is after he reached an outstanding 36.7 km/h (22.8 mph). Postecoglou sees it to be a main part of his plan at Spurs.
Finally, Tottenham completed Postecoglou’s dream transfer on deadline day as it ended. He was the one who coveted Johnson’s transfer from Nottingham Forest. Being that athleticism and pace are two of the main parts of Postecoglou’s vision for a new Tottenham team without Kane.
