Spurs Willing to Selling Winger Welsh International Johnson.
Tottenham Hotspur's European final hero Brennan Johnson finds himself in an unclear situation in North London due to growing Premier League attention in the attacker.
Sources suggest that the club, while not actively looking to sell the Wales international, are considering a potential departure should they receive a suitable bid.
Crystal Palace are reportedly the club furthest along 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 goalscorer the previous campaign with eleven goals, and etched his name in Spurs folklore by scoring the winner in their European final victory against Manchester United last season, bringing to a close the club's 17-year wait for a major honor.
However, the exit of the previous manager and arrival of the new head coach has resulted in Johnson occupying more of a bit-part role in the current campaign.
The 24-year-old, has been granted only six Premier League starts under Frank.
January Window Speculation Grows
As a result, a host of clubs have been alerted to his potential availability before the January transfer window.
Due to his lack of action and the looming possibility of a World Cup on the horizon with his national team, a move away from Tottenham could benefit Johnson in January.
The attacker moved to Tottenham from Nottingham Forest in a deal worth £47.5m in the summer of 2023 and has scored 27 goals in all competitions.
Key Points
- The Welsh international's position at Spurs is currently in doubt.
- The club is not pushing for a sale but would entertain bids.
- Crystal Palace are leading the chase, with other Premier League clubs monitoring.
- The arrival of manager has limited his first-team opportunities significantly.
- The upcoming transfer window and Wales's commitments could drive a potential move.
