Brennan Johnson prefers Spurs move over Chelsea
The Mail has now confirmed Chelsea’s interest in Johnson, adding that the Stamford Bridge administration has contemplated a part-exchange bid for the midfielder in light of Forest’s interest in Andrey Santos.
The Welshman, though, has a’strong interest’ from Tottenham and wishes to move to N17 because he feels he will not get enough game time at Stamford Bridge.
According to the report, Forest want £50 million for Johnson, who is also wanted by West Ham United.

Tottenham appear to be planning to spend a significant portion of the Kane cost to sign Johnson before the window ends. Spurs, on the other hand, are now in a race against time to send some players out the door in order to make room for new recruits.
To bring in the players that Postecoglou wants before the deadline, the team must complete agreements for Reguilon, Tanganga, Sanchez, Lloris, Spence, and Ndombele in the next days.
