Brennan Johnson to Chelsea transfer: Andrey Santos impact, Tottenham twist, £50m bid, talks held

Chelsea remain interested in signing Nottingham Forest forward Brennan Johnson.

Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed that the Blues want to sign a versatile forward capable of playing across the attack. Johnson impressed last term and is now attracting interest from top Premier League clubs — with talks having already have been held with the Blues.

The Wales international made his way through the ranks at Forest — where his father David Johnson was once a star player himself. His ability to run at a defence with pace has made him a struggle to contain for opposition teams, with the East Midlands outfit often looking to play on the counter attack.

His impact has naturally brought about plenty of interest, with Tottenham, West Ham and Brentford amongst those teams linked with a move. However, with Chelsea now also into the equation, it could spark a huge battle for the three London sides looking to sign the 22-year-old.

With that said, football.london takes a look at the latest on Chelsea's move for Johnson and whether he will make a move to Stamford Bridge this summer.

Andrey Santos has joined Nottingham Forest on loan for the 2023/24 campaign. The young Brazilian could have an impact on Forest's decision whether to sell Brennan Johnson or not this summer given that they play in similar positions.

Steve Cooper's experience in helping talented youngsters develop into top players could help Santos improve drastically this season before returning to Stamford Bridge next year.

Tottenham are preparing to launch their bid for Nottingham Forest forward Brennan Johnson, according to Mail Sport.

The Wales international is valued around £50million by Forest who have already rejected offers over £35million from Brentford this window.
