Breaking News: Tottenham's Sensational Bid for Nottingham Forest Star Brennan Johnson Shocks Football World!

Tottenham are currently eyeing a last-minute acquisition of a right-winger, with Nottingham Forest's Brennan Johnson being a top candidate in the final week of the transfer window. Instead of a conventional center-forward, Spurs are seeking a player with Johnson's characteristics following Harry Kane's departure to Bayern Munich. With the deadline approaching, they have three possibilities to consider.

Forest star Johnson is in competition with Chelsea and Brentford for his services. However, both clubs are unwilling to exceed the £40m offered by Brentford for the Welsh international earlier this summer.

Johnson was an exceptional player for Forest in the previous season, contributing eight goals and three assists to assist the club in avoiding relegation.

The 22-year-old has featured in every one of Forest's three matches this season, but has yet to find the back of the net.

Tottenham's summer acquisitions amount to a staggering £167.8m, encompassing eight additions. Among these, Micky van de Ven stands as the costliest recruit, commanding a fee of £43m.

Exits could see Spurs sign centre-back and midfielder

Spurs want to slim down their squad with several outgoings this coming week - but those exits could also see a new centre-back and central midfielder arrive.

Three of Spurs' central defenders, Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez, and Japhet Tanganga, are all currently ready and accessible. If one of them were to leave, Tottenham would seek a replacement according to their own preferences.

Regarding the midfield, Tanguy Ndombele is anticipated to leave the club, and if Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg were to follow suit, Spurs would be open to acquiring another central midfielder.

In addition, Sergio Reguilon, Hugo Lloris, and Djed Spence are included in the transfer list for the final week of the window. Manchester United and Fulham have expressed interest in Reguilon, while Spence is likely to be loaned out by Spurs to gauge his progress. Furthermore, Bryan Gil and Dane Scarlett, both wingers and strikers, respectively, may also be sent on loan to gain more experience in regular first-team matches.
