Brennan Johnson has been told not to join Tottenham Hotspur today, according to reports
Brennan Johnson should not leave Nottingham Forest for Tottenham Hotspur on the final day of the summer transfer market, according to Stan Collymore.
The one-time Nottingham Forest striker told CaughtOffSide that Brennan Johnson should wait before going to Tottenham Hotspur.
Collymore, however, believes that the 22-year-old Wales forward cannot stay at Forest. The pundit has described the young player’s qualities and praised him. Fabrizio Romano says that Johnson has agreed to join Spurs today.
According to the Italian writer, Johnson will finish medical tests at Tottenham and will join the North London club for a fee of £45 million.
Brennan Johnson Has Been Advised to Say No to Joining Tottenham Hotspur
Collymore wrote, “According to recent reports, it seems Brennan Johnson is getting closer to a transfer from Nottingham Forest to Tottenham Hotspur on deadline day.”
“He’s a player who’s caught the attention of many club scouts. Brentford is keen on him and willing to break their club’s transfer record. Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, and Aston Villa have been showing interest for a while now, which indicates he’s highly rated.”
“He’s a fast player, creative, with goal-scoring skills. His goal-scoring record at Forest, which I believe is about one in every three games, may not be the best. However, if you place him in a stronger team that holds more possession and creates more opportunities, I believe his goal returns will improve. Nevertheless, I believe a move this summer is too early for him.”
“I believe he should stick with Nottingham Forest for at least one more season. He’s from Nottingham, his father played for the club, and he has come a long way through the club’s academy, so he’s very familiar with the setup at the club.”
“I think he should say no to any transfer this summer and rather focus on developing his skills during the 2023-24 season. By doing so, he can improve his game before considering to move on in his career. If he reaches his full potential, he won’t have to worry about getting a big transfer; the opportunities will come. Besides, he might have better options than joining Spurs.”
Moving from Forest to Tottenham would be a positive step for Johnson, and we think he’s making the right decision today.
Of course, it might be hard to play always for Tottenham at first, but the Wales international should have a deep belief in his skills and have faith in himself.
What are the Odds?
Opportunities to join Tottenham Hotspur do not come along every day.
It’s appealing to play for a large club that consistently competes for UEFA Champions League slots in the Premier League.
Tottenham possesses one of the world’s greatest stadiums and training facilities.
There is hope for success on the pitch with the new head coach, Ange Postecoglou.
