Tottenham actually offered to trade their £4m player in swap deal for Brennan Johnson
Tottenham appear to have gotten their man.
Indeed, it has been reported that Spurs are closing in on a de😼al to sign Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest in a deal wor🐠th around .
This is a transfer saga that rumbled on over the past week, and there we🃏re a few different hu🅷rdles to clear in negotiations.
Both Forest and Spurs were seemingly being stubborn in their stances on Johnson’s valuation, and in order to g𝐆et ✃around this situation, Spurs came up with a bright idea.
Indeed, according to Charlie Eccleshare, Tottenham had actually offered a swap deal fo𝔍r Johnson that would’ve seen Eric Dier head to the City Ground.
Dier expected to stay at Spurs, despite being offered to, among o﷽thers, Forest and Bournemouth in conversations about Johnson and Kelly.
One year left on h🦩is deal, and expectation is absolutely that he'll leave on a free, most l﷽ikely abroad, in 2024.

Evidently, Forest didn’t go for this deal, but we can’t help but feel th꧟at this could’ve been a decent option for the Reds.
Say what you will about Dier’s ability, but he 𓆏is a leader, and Forest need a player like that in the heart of their defence.
For all of Forest’s attacking talent, they don’t have the best defen🙈ce in the world, and a no-nonsense centre-half like Dier wouldn’t be a bad option at all.
Forest have instead negotiated a cash-only deal, and whether or not the re꧂-invest any of that cash in defensive reinforcements remains to be seen.
As f💎or Dier, it remains to be seen what will happen with the defender befꦍore the deadline.
