Tottenham Open to Offloading Forward Brennan Johnson.
Tottenham Hotspur's Europa League final match-winner Brennan Johnson is facing an unclear situation in North London amid increasing Premier League interest in his services.
It is understood that the club, while not actively looking to part with the Wales international, are open to letting Johnson leave in the event of a suitable bid.
Crystal Palace are presently the club furthest along in their interest for Johnson, but several clubs are believed to be watching developments closely.
Last Campaign of Mixed Fortunes
Johnson was Spurs' top Premier League goalscorer last season with eleven goals, and secured his place in club history by netting the decisive goal in their Europa League final triumph against Manchester United in Bilbao, ending the club's 17-year wait for a trophy.
However, the departure of the previous manager and arrival of Thomas Frank has meant Johnson playing more of a peripheral role this season.
The Welsh forward, has been granted only 6 Premier League starts this term.
January Window Interest Grows
Therefore, a number of clubs have been made aware of his potential availability before the January transfer window.
Given his lack of action and the prospect of a World Cup approaching with his national team, a transfer elsewhere from Tottenham may suit Johnson in January.
Johnson joined Tottenham from Nottingham Forest in a deal worth £47.5m in the 2023 summer window and has notched 27 goals in all competitions.
Summary
- Brennan Johnson's future at Tottenham is currently in doubt.
- Tottenham is not actively marketing him but would consider offers.
- Selhurst Park officials are at the front of the queue, with further Premier League clubs monitoring.
- A change of manager has reduced his first-team opportunities significantly.
- The upcoming transfer window and international commitments could drive a potential move.
