TOTTENHAM new boy Brennan Johnson may face an awkward meeting when he comes face-to-face with new team-mate Richarlison.
The Welsh forward, 22, looks set to join Spurs after Forest agreed a deal worth £45m for their star man.

But Johnson could be forced to immediately repair his relationship with Richarlison following an on-field incident last season.
It came in August 2022 when Tottenham beat Forest 2-0 at the City Ground thanks to a Harry Kane brace.
But much of the post-match reaction focused on an altercation between Johnson and Richarlison.
Spurs‘ Brazilian attacker, 26, seemed to be mocking Forest late on in the game when he juggled the ball near the touchline.
But Johnson was not in the mood for the South American’s antics.
Moments later, he took Richarlison out with a late, aggressive challenge – receiving a yellow card for his troubles.
Now, 12 months on from that incident, the pair are set to become team-mates in North London.
Reacting to the clip – which re-emerged on social media as Johnson closed in on a move to Spurs – one person said: “Johnson and Richarlison have some bridge building ahead.”

Another added: “Looking forward to the Richarlison x Brennan Johnson reunion.”
And a third replied: “Johnson meeting Richarlison for the first time should be awkward.”
Johnson has registered 29 goals and 12 assists in 109 appearances for Forest.
He has also racked up 19 caps for Wales, netting twice for his country.
Meanwhile, Richarlison has contributed just four goals and four assists in 39 matches since arriving at Tottenham.
Now set to become the main forward following the departure of Kane, he will be looking to improve on his record of one Premier League goal in 27 games.
