Tottenham Willing to Offloading Winger Welsh International Johnson.
Tottenham Hotspur's European final match-winner Brennan Johnson is facing an uncertain future in North London amid growing Premier League interest in his services.
It is understood that the club, while not actively looking to part with the Wales international, are receptive to a potential departure in the event of a substantial offer.
The Eagles are reportedly the team most advanced in their interest for Johnson, but a number of sides are believed to be keeping tabs on his status with interest.
Last Campaign of Mixed Fortunes
Johnson was Spurs' top Premier League scorer last season with 11 goals, and secured his place in Spurs folklore by netting the decisive goal in their European final victory over Manchester United in Bilbao, ending the club's 17-year wait for a major honor.
However, the exit of the previous manager and appointment of Thomas Frank has meant Johnson playing more of a bit-part role in the current campaign.
The 24-year-old, has made only six Premier League starts this term.
Transfer Window Speculation Grows
Therefore, a number of clubs have been alerted to his possible departure before the winter transfer window.
Considering his limited game time and the looming possibility of a global tournament approaching with Wales, a switch from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium may suit Johnson in January.
The attacker moved to Spurs from Forest in a deal valued at £47.5m in the 2023 summer window and has scored 27 goals for the club.
Summary
- Brennan Johnson's future at Tottenham is currently in doubt.
- The club is not pushing for a sale but would consider offers.
- Crystal Palace are at the front of the queue, with further Premier League clubs interested.
- The arrival of manager has limited his first-team opportunities significantly.
- The January transfer window and international commitments could drive a potential move.
