That's the way it's being reported.
Things can change pretty quick.
a week ago Orban was the most reported rumour out there. Same people like POK, Gold etc now reporting Johnson.
Vicario came out of nowhere.

He has one decent game on his debut. Since then he's been injured or shit.
We (spurs) got too excited and signed him up to a contract too soon and now we're stuck with him.
All these links to the Milan clubs are insane. He's another lower league player.
It’s a head scratcher.
I don’t see anything in his CV or having watched him for Wales as well as Forest to justify buying him.
He is not a bad player, but he doesn’t “move the needle” for us. It’s the kind of signing I thought we had moved past.
That's a bit different to being left dangling while we openly court alt. targets.... Players will generally accept the 'we need to sell X first' scenario as a matter of practicality..... Even if it still means they might accept other offers in the interim.
Agents certainly aren't gonna let it deter them either.
We aren't making a single signing unless more players leave. And I don't mean 1 in 1 out.
It'll be more like 2 or 3 out for every in. Levy is far too tight to allow players to be paid to not be in the squad.
But he's also far too tight to write off fees to help them move on.
Possibly, but it’s hard to say what his actual level is considering he’s never played a consistent amount, and was moved from position to position early on.
Bullshit.I've posted lots of examples of Levy clearing the deck.
Outside of that one game vs Liverpool he's been below average at best a d truly terrible at worst.
In that run of games against Chelsea where we lost in the league and league cup, he looked like a rabbit in the headlights. One of the worst defensive displays I've seen, and we have had some shocking defenders over the years.
Don't think BJ is all that well established at all.
Still feels like a punt, especially at 50m.
Here's a new one..."establishing the mechanics"

if Johnson turns out shit then it’s a levy punt if he is decent I guess big Ange wanted him? Am I right?
He makes it sound like we're going to the moon, it's just Brennan Johnson!
Does "establishing the mechanics" come before the monitoring or after?
It's not obvious to me but I do have a fair bit of trust in Ange to identify the right players for his system.
Could be a similar buy to Gordon, who I was also unconvinced by, but is now coming good at Newcastle.
Johnson has put up really good g/a numbers to be fair. 18g 10a at 20 years old in the Championship isn't to be sniffed at. 8g 3a in his first season in PL at 21. Ivan Toney at 25 was at 12g 5a in his first PL season at centre forward, with penalties. Ollie Watkins at 21 and 22 had a pair of 10 goal seasons at Brentford in the Championship.
Again, not really watched Johnson close enough, but maybe there's something in his game that the club can see a path to him being a high level hg player.

To score goals, take his chances.

Whether Johnson or not, our track record, Maddison apart on concluding deals quockly does not provide hope this gets done.
Sounds like too many variables and if this is our one option, then it's less than 50:50.
The player wants the move or he or his agent would have shut this down.. We saw that with our ex-number 10.
