Tottenham Hotspur are investigating alternative options to Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson, as they talk to Barcelona about a loan deal for Ansu Fati. Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze is also being considered but is probably out of the club’s price range.
The fee has been the major stumbling block with Johnson, as Spurs are understood to be way off Forest’s valuation, which is at least £40m. Many close to the situation have also expressed doubt over whether Daniel Levy and Evangelos Marianakis can come to a deal.
