Tottenham expert can’t believe source’s Brennan Johnson reveal – ‘it’s a circus’
Alan Hutton has claimed Tottenham is a “circus” and doesn’t know who is making the big decisions at the club.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Spurs right-back suggested signing new players in the summer could be difficult as a result of the confusion at the club.
Last week (2 April), sources told this site that the Lilywhites are keeping close tabs on Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson.
The London club have sent scouts to watch the 21-year-old in recent games and are monitoring the forward as they weigh up a potential summer swoop.
But after sacking Antonio Conte and losing managing director Fabio Paratici after he received a worldwide football ban from Fifa, the direction of the club is unclear.
Spurs could be set to lose their star forward Harry Kane in the summer when his contract will enter its final 12 months and he has already told friends that he does not plan on signing an extension.
The Londoners still have a long list of forward thinking players and when asked if the queue to get into the starting XI could put off a player like Johnson, Hutton told Football Insider: “As a young player you play with no fear.
“You are not thinking about going to a team and not playing. If he were to be bought by Tottenham he will be thinking ‘I am going to go there in pre-season and show them what I am all about, I want to play.’
“He will know who is in front of him.
“The more interesting thing for me is who is making those decisions? Who is going to watch him? It is a bit of a circus at Tottenham at the moment.“
