Tottenham £18m Rated Winger Set for Premier League Swap???

I hope this is just more media Bollox !!



Tottenham Hotspur winger Aaron Lennon is set for a sensational move to Manchester City with Adam Johnson moving in the opposite direction, according to reports in The Metro.

It is believed Spurs and Manchester City are close to agreeing a deal which will see Emmanuel Adebayor head to White Hart Lane for a season long loan.

Talks between the two Premier League clubs have moved on to a possible swap deal which could see Lennon head to Eastland's with Johnson moving in the opposite direction.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini last season criticized Johnson for his off field antics, and the former Middlesbrough player has failed to gain regular first team football at City and has not featured in games against the bigger.

Mancini see Lennon as a perfect replacement and feels the 24-year-old, Spurs wingers speed is an important attribute to his squad.

Spurs boss Redknapp will not want to lose Lennon, but with the former Leed's United man valued at £18million and a ready-made replacement ready to step in it could be a good deal for both clubs as Johnson is valued at around the £8m mark.

Last season Lennon made 35 appearances for Tottenham in all competitions and scored three goals whilst providing seven assisits.

Meanwhile Johnson made 39 appearances for City and scored eight goals in all competitions.
