Tottenham eye double Nottingham Forest transfer swoop

Tottenham Hotspur are planning a double raid of Nottingham Forest once the summer transfer window opens, according to reports.

football.london has claimed that as Spurs look to bolster their squad ahead of European football next season, manager Antonio Conte and managing director of football Fabio Paratici will be looking to sign a number of homegrown talents to keep up the required numbers in the squad.

Forest's Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson have been earmarked as potential targets as Tottenham aim to back Conte with the players he needs to not only finish inside the top four next season but also reach the latter stages of European football, be it the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League.

Spence, currently on loan from Middlesbrough, has attracted a lot of attention from teams in the Premier League including Manchester United, Arsenal and the aforementioned Spurs. Johnson, aged 20, scored 16 goals in the Championship this season and has already made his senior debut for Wales.

His performances have also seen him linked with a move to a Premier League side, with Brentford making a bid for the winger in January which was rejected.
