£50 million player has chosen that he would rather join Tottenham Hotspur than Chelsea.
Brennan Johnson of Nottingham Forest is said to favour a summer move to Tottenham Hotspur over a move to Chelsea.
According to MailOnline’s Transfer Confidential newsletter, a big component in the decision was playing time.
According to the report, West Ham United was also interested in Johnson.
The 22-year-old is thought to favour a move to Tottenham if the clubs can reach an agreement, as the path to the first team at bitter rivals Chelsea is not as clear.

Johnson has started both of Nottingham Forest’s first two games this season and would be a significant loss to the team.
However, with an estimated valuation of £50 million, Forest will most likely see a sale as the natural next step.
Another question is if Johnson is the answer to Tottenham’s striker dilemma.
While he has played as a centre striker at times, the Welshman has spent the majority of his time out wide or just behind the striker.
And, while Johnson prefers a transfer to Tottenham over a move to Chelsea, fans may question if he should be a priority acquisition right now.

Furthermore, James Maddison has previously performed admirably on the wing.
Perhaps Ange Postecoglou believes more depth is required in the area, but from the outside, it appears like other areas would take precedence.
Nonetheless, Johnson’s preference for Tottenham over Chelsea is quite encouraging.
Not only for bragging rights, but also because the Spurs may have found their guy.
Although this is good news for Tottenham fans, it was previously reported that the club will prioritize departures above new acquisitions.
