Tottenham Targets AFCON Star as Johnson’s £35m Replacement
Tottenham Hotspur is actively seeking a replacement for Brennan Johnson after reaching a £35 million agreement to sell the Welsh winger to Crystal Palace. With Johnson’s sale, Spurs aim to solidify their left-wing position, which has seen various players fill the role without a consistent starter.
Potential Replacements for Brennan Johnson
There are two key players on Tottenham’s radar: Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig and Savinho from Manchester City. Both players are viewed as potential additions to the squad as Spurs look to boost their attacking options.
Yan Diomande: An Emerging Star
Yan Diomande, an Ivorian winger currently competing in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), has caught the attention of multiple clubs. He has had an impressive season, netting seven goals and providing four assists for RB Leipzig.
- Nation: Ivory Coast
- Current Club: RB Leipzig
- Goals This Season: 7
- Assists This Season: 4
- AFCON Status: Competing and leading group stage
Should the Ivory Coast progress further in the tournament, Diomande will not return to his club until late January, delaying any potential transfer negotiations.
Savinho: A Manchester City Target
Another player Tottenham is interested in is Savinho, currently under contract with Manchester City. Spurs previously attempted to secure him but were rebuffed by City manager Pep Guardiola, who was reluctant to part with the talented youngster.
Both Diomande and Savinho are seen as vital additions to enhance Tottenham’s offensive capabilities. As competition for their signatures increases, Spurs will need to act quickly to secure one of these promising players.
Conclusion
With Brennan Johnson’s imminent departure, Tottenham is poised to make significant changes to their attacking lineup. The interest in Diomande and Savinho highlights the urgency to strengthen their squad as they prepare for the second half of the season.
