TOTTENHAM are lining up a swap deal for Nottingham Forest striker Brennan Johnson.
And they are prepared to offer unwanted duo Djed Spence and Joe Rodon in a swap deal, according to reports.

The future of Spurs’ all-time record scorer Harry Kane hangs in the balance as Bayern Munich continue their pursuit of the England captain, 30.
Their latest bid was rejected on Monday, but it remains unclear whether he will be in North London come the end of the transfer window.
And the Lilywhites are already planning for life without Kane should he depart in the coming weeks.
According to The Mail, Tottenham are set to offer Spence and Rodon in a swap deal for Johnson – who is valued at £50m.
Brentford have already seen bids of £30m and £40m rejected as they pursue the Welsh forward, 22, who has bagged 29 goals in 105 games for Forest.
But Spurs are keen to offer a different kind of proposal as they look to axe some of their fringe players.
Spence has made just six appearances since joining Tottenham from Middlesbrough for £20m last summer.
The 22-year-old right-back, who spent the second half of last season at Rennes, thrived at Forest during a loan spell which saw him play an integral part in their promotion to the Premier League.

And Spurs are closing in on deals for Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven and Rosario Central striker Alejo Veliz.
