Tottenham told to sign Nottingham Forest duo amid ‘bizarre’ £30million transfer claim
John Wenham wants Tottenham to sign Nottingham Forest duo Morgan Gibbs-White and Taiwo Awoniyi.
The owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose was surprised to see the club linked with Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Reliable Spurs insider Paul O Keefe revealed via X (28 May) that Hudson-Odoi was offered to Spurs, but Johan Lange was against a move.
As per The Sun (24 May) the Forest forward is valued at around £30million, despite joining the club from Chelsea for £3million just last summer.
And Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – would much rather the club signed two of his current teammates.
“I found those links a little bit bizarre to be perfectly honest with you,” Wenham said.
“I’d much rather Tottenham went out and signed Gibbs-White and Awoniyi from Forest.
“Hudson-Odoi has had a good season and he’s done well to get his career back on track, but I don’t think he’s that much of an upgrade on what we have.
“Forest only paid £3million for him, so I’m not sure Tottenham would be happy to pay £30million.”
Ange Postecoglou will be keen to sign a new number nine at Tottenham
A new wide player should not be at the top of Spurs’ wishlist.
Rejecting the chance to sign Hudson-Odoi makes sense, as a new number nine should be the priority.
Following the re-signing of Timo Werner, Ange Postecoglou is well-stocked out wide.
Hudson-Odoi had an impressive season, but he isn’t what is needed in North London.
