According to a recent analysis, Nottingham Forest now have three players valued as much as Brennan Johnson.
The CIES Football Observatory has made some information public. They are a Swiss research group that conducts football studies and delivers values.
They get their valuations based on the number of years left on a player’s contract. This latest study came out at the end of August and it now claims that Forest have three players worth equal to Johnson.
Morgan Gibbs-White, Danilo and deadline-day signing Ibrahim Sangare are the three players. The study shows that the trio are all on par with Johnson in terms of valuation.
On transfer deadline day, Johnson was sold to Tottenham. Spurs paid £47.5 million for him, and Forest chose to cash in to allow the team to reinforce before the deadline.
Over the previous two seasons, the 22-year-old has been a revelation for the Reds. He scored 19 goals in the club’s promotion season and eight goals in the Premier League last season.
However, this latest study suggests that there may be life after Johnson. Gibbs-White, Danilo, and Sangare are all worth the same as the player who just left.
Forest also has other players that aren’t far behind. In the study, Anthony Elanga and Taiwo Awoniyi are close behind.
Forest claimed to have three players on par with Johnson.
The Reds can fire even without Johnson. Forest will miss his pace, and he did score some vital goals last season.
Players like Gibbs-White, Elanga, Awoniyi and Divock Origi all know where the net is. They will be tasked with finding the goals that Forest need in order to progress.
Forest will hope to enjoy a smooth transition to life after Johnson. The squad is now well-stocked in every area and Steve Cooper could really enjoy some more success at the City Ground.
