Chelsea might be considering bolstering their attacking options before the transfer window closes, and insights from journalist Paul Brown shed light on their potential interest in Nottingham Forest winger Brennan Johnson, as he shared with GIVEMESPORT.

Despite already investing significantly in transfers this summer, Chelsea’s business might continue. Their current summer spending is estimated at around £358 million, and with a few days left in the window, it’s plausible that the figure could rise further. Recent weeks have witnessed Chelsea missing out on some attacking targets, such as Michael Olise, who extended his contract with Crystal Palace after Chelsea initially triggered a release clause, as reported by Sky Sports.

This scenario could hint at the type of player profile Chelsea is looking to add – a young, adaptable attacker who can provide competition up front. Notably, respected journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed to GIVEMESPORT that Chelsea is indeed seeking such a player, and they have several options on their radar.

Tottenham Hotspur also showing interest in Johnson

One player emerging in connection with Stamford Bridge is Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson. The Independent reported that Chelsea might join the race to secure the signature of the talented Welsh international, with Tottenham Hotspur also showing interest.

Paul Brown, the journalist, has shared insights into Chelsea’s pursuit of Johnson, a player previously lauded as a ‘superstar.’ Brown suggests that Chelsea has made inquiries about Johnson during the summer, making this a situation to monitor as the transfer window nears its end. He also notes that Mauricio Pochettino seems to be seeking a versatile forward.

Johnson is a winger who possibly could play up front if needed

In his own words to GIVEMESPORT, Brown stated, “I think Pochettino is more in the market for a kind of wider player, a winger who possibly could play up front if needed. Someone with that kind of versatility, that would make more sense. And I do hear that Chelsea have asked about Brennan Johnson so that one is interesting.”
