Tottenham Considering Offloading Attacker Welsh International Johnson.
Spurs' European final hero Brennan Johnson is facing an uncertain future in North London amid rising top-flight attention in the attacker.
It is understood that Tottenham, while not actively looking to sell the Wales international, are considering letting Johnson leave if they get a suitable offer.
The Eagles are currently the team furthest along in their pursuit for Johnson, but other teams are said to be keeping tabs on his status closely.
A Season of Mixed Fortunes
Johnson was Spurs' top top-flight goalscorer last season with eleven goals, and wrote his name in club history by scoring the winner in their European final victory against Manchester United in Bilbao, bringing to a close the club's 17-year wait for a major honor.
However, the departure of the previous manager and appointment of Thomas Frank has meant Johnson occupying more of a peripheral role in the current campaign.
The 24-year-old, has been granted only 6 top-flight starting appearances this term.
January Window Speculation Mounts
Therefore, a number of clubs have been alerted to his likely exit ahead of the January transfer window.
Due to his lack of action and the looming possibility of a World Cup on the horizon with Wales, a switch from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could benefit Johnson in January.
The attacker moved to Tottenham from Forest in a deal worth £47.5m in the summer of 2023 and has registered twenty-seven goals in all competitions.
Summary
- Brennan Johnson's future at Tottenham is currently in doubt.
- Tottenham is not pushing for a sale but would consider offers.
- Crystal Palace are leading the chase, with further Premier League clubs interested.
- A change of manager has limited his playing time this season.
- The January transfer window and Wales's commitments could influence a January exit.
