Spurs Open to Selling Forward Welsh International Johnson.
Tottenham Hotspur's Europa League final hero Brennan Johnson finds himself in an unclear situation in North London amid increasing Premier League attention in the attacker.
It is understood that Tottenham, while not actively looking to sell the Welsh international, are considering letting Johnson leave if they get a substantial bid.
Crystal Palace are currently the side furthest along in their interest for Johnson, but other teams are thought to be keeping tabs on his status closely.
A Season of Mixed Fortunes
Johnson was Tottenham's top Premier League scorer the previous campaign with eleven goals, and etched his name in Spurs folklore by netting the winner in their Europa League final victory against United last season, bringing to a close the club's 17-year wait for a major honor.
However, the departure of Ange Postecoglou and appointment of Thomas Frank has meant Johnson playing more of a bit-part role in the current campaign.
The Welsh forward, has been granted only six Premier League starting appearances under Frank.
Transfer Window Speculation Grows
Therefore, a number of clubs have been made aware of his possible departure ahead of the January transfer window.
Considering 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.
The attacker moved to Spurs from Nottingham Forest in a deal valued at £47.5m in the 2023 summer window and has notched twenty-seven goals for the club.
Key Points
- The Welsh international's position at Spurs is now uncertain.
- The club is not pushing for a sale but would consider offers.
- Selhurst Park officials are leading the chase, with further Premier League clubs monitoring.
- A change of manager has reduced his playing time significantly.
- The January transfer window and international commitments could influence a January exit.
