Tottenham confirmed the £47.5m signing of Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest on the stroke of the 11pm transfer deadline after a day in which they failed to offload some of their unwanted players.
The London club had prioritised the addition of Johnson, the manager, Ange Postecoglou, seeing the forward as the ideal fit for his style and, after a week of negotiations with Forest, they were able to secure him to a six-year contract.
