Tottenham Hotspur managing director of football Fabio Paratici was reportedly in attendance at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon to 'scout' Brennan Johnson and Djed Spence.
Both players were subjected to reported interest from several Premier League sides during the January transfer window last month and have continued to catch the eye as the Reds again advanced in the FA Cup in front of terrestrial television cameras.
Johnson scored what proved to be the winner against Leicester City in the first half while Middlesbrough loanee Spence was also on the scoresheet to restore a three-goal lead with the fourth and final strike just after the hour mark.
