Brennan Johnson ‘to be axed at Tottenham’ amid £33m transfer development
Brennan Johnson has cut a frustrated figure at times for Tottenham throughout the current campaign.
All in all, this season has been a domestic nightmare for Tottenham, who have been left to hang their hopes on Europa League success.
A failure to achieve that would not only see their 17-year trophy drought extended but also confirm that they would be playing the next campaign without any European football.
Those failures have mainly been spearheaded by Ange Postecoglou, though Johnson has received plenty of criticism for the role he has played in the campaign.
Tottenham looking to seal instant Johnson upgrade
Johnson is a player with real quality, though the lack of consistency has been the main frustration throughout his time at Tottenham.
Spurs have been limited in their options when it comes to rotating that position, for the latest transfer update from North London suggests that it is an area that they are looking to strengthen this summer.
According to a report from TBR (24 March), Tottenham are keen on signing Chelsea’s Noni Madueke, who may be allowed to depart Stamford Bridge.
| Premier League | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Brennan Johnson | 26 | 9 | 2 |
| Noni Madueke | 23 | 7 | 3 |
The Englishman had a very bright start to the season, though his form has seemed to fade away, quite similarly to Johnson.
Milan are also said to be interested in Madueke and are believed to be confident that Chelsea would settle for a fee in the region of £33million [Fichajes].
Tottenham will undoubtedly be in for a busy transfer window, though any decisions on the recruitment front may hinge on whether or not they achieve European qualification.
Tottenham only have one focus now
The Europa League is Tottenham’s only remaining chance of silverware, but also that only remaining chance to secure any form of European football next season.
An inability to achieve that would not only prove detrimental to their ability to sign new players but also potentially to their chances of retaining those who have impressed this season.
