Selling a homegrown star rarely makes a club popular with their fans but Nottingham Forest believe their calculated risk in selling Brennan Johnson will pay dividends down the line.
Tottenham have completed a £47.5million deal for the forward, who scored 10 goals in all competitions in his debut top-flight campaign and made his World Cup debut with Wales.
At 22, Johnson has significant potential. The son of former striker David Johnson, who scored 50 goals in 165 appearances for Forest from 2001-06, Johnson has also forged a friendship with David Beckham, who played with his father in the Manchester United youth ranks.
