Johnson On His Way for Medical Tests
Spurs and Forest have reached an agreement for the transfer of Johnson just hours away from the transfer deadline. The North London club have been pursuing the player for a matter of weeks now and have wrapped up the signing according to Romano. The player is on his way to their training ground in order to complete his medical tests before signing the documents to seal the deal.
According to David Ornstein, The Lillywhites will pay a transfer fee of £47.5 million fixed to their fellow Premier League side. There are no add-ons in the agreement. However, Forest retains a 10% sell-on clause for the Welsh forward. The “brilliant” youngster will play at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season barring a disaster.
