Spurs Considering Selling Winger Welsh International Johnson.
Tottenham Hotspur's European final match-winner Brennan Johnson is facing an unclear situation at the club due to rising top-flight attention in the attacker.
Sources suggest that Tottenham, while not actively seeking to part with the Wales international, are open to letting Johnson leave in the event of a substantial offer.
The Eagles are currently the club furthest along in their interest for Johnson, but other teams are thought to be watching developments with interest.
Last Campaign of Mixed Fortunes
Johnson was Spurs' leading top-flight scorer the previous campaign with eleven goals, and secured his place in club history by netting the decisive goal in their European final triumph over Manchester United in Bilbao, ending the club's seventeen-year wait for a trophy.
However, the departure of the previous manager and arrival of Thomas Frank has resulted in Johnson playing more of a bit-part role this season.
The 24-year-old, has made only six Premier League starts under Frank.
Transfer Market Interest Grows
As a result, a host of clubs have been alerted to his possible departure before the winter transfer window.
Considering his lack of action and the looming possibility of a World Cup on the horizon with his national team, a switch from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium may suit Johnson next month.
The attacker moved to Spurs from Forest in a deal worth £47.5m in the 2023 summer window and has scored twenty-seven goals for the club.
Summary
- The Welsh international's position at Spurs is currently in doubt.
- The club is not actively marketing him but would entertain bids.
- Selhurst Park officials are leading the chase, with other Premier League clubs interested.
- A change of manager has reduced his playing time significantly.
- The January transfer window and international commitments could drive a January exit.
