Spurs lead the race and sign “future Ballon d’Or winner”

Hope remains hopeful that this season will end with Tottenham Hotspur’s Europa League victory, but at least domestically, it won’t escape the fact that it is demonic.

The Ange Postecologu team lost 19 games in the Premier League, but they feel certain they will finish the season with 20 names.

But for all the fate and darkness, there are many in it – there remains a reason to hope for the future of the club: their youth.

Lucas Bergval, Archie Gray, Mikey Moore and others look like superstars in production. If a recent report is believed, the club is about to add another name to that list.

Tottenham forwarding targets

Before reaching the player in question, it’s worth looking at some of the other young people who have linked with the Spurs in recent weeks, such as Dean Huijsen.

Spain International reportedly has a release clause worth £50 million in his current Bournemouth deal, which is much to spend on young people, but it’s worth it as he’s already appeared in Cherry 32 times this season.

Another young man on the south coast that frequently links with Lily White this year is Tyler Diving.

The Southampton star has scored a reasonable tally of four goals and three assists in 35 games so far this season, making it available for £35 million.

Finally, the most exciting player, and a key upgrade for Johnson, is Rayan Cherki.

According to a recent report from catch-offside, the Spurs and Manchester United are currently leading the race to sign the highly rated Lyon Youngster.

The report claims it could be available for a 21-year-old for around 35 million euros, which would be £35 million.

Overcoming the line may be a complicated transfer, but given Cherki’s immense ability and potential it’s worth fighting teeth and claws, especially as he’s a major upgrade for Johnson.

How does Cherki compare to Johnson?

So, since Cherki’s main position is off the right, his main competition in match time with the Spurs will be Johnson, but who will be on top if we compare them?

Well, when it comes to their raw output, it’s the French who comes to the top and then come out in quite a way.

For example, in just 41 appearances, a total of 2,894 minutes, he scored 12 goals and provided 19 assists.

In contrast, Welsman scored 16 goals and provided seven assists in a total of 46 minutes.

Unfortunately for the former Nottingham Forest Ace, the comparison remains one-sided, even if the underlying numbers are looked at under the hood.

For example, Lyon’s “Future Ballon d’Or Winner,” dubbed by Athletic Alex Barker, will successfully deliver actual and expected non-comprehensive goals, along with assists, progressive passes, carry, key passes, shot and goal creation actions, successful take-ons and other take-ons per 90.

In the end, Johnson was a useful player, but it’s clear that Cherki will be a major upgrade and therefore we’ll need to do everything we can to sign him this summer.
