Spurs Considering Selling Forward Welsh International Johnson.
Tottenham Hotspur's Europa League final hero Brennan Johnson is facing an unclear situation in North London due to growing Premier League interest in his services.
Sources suggest that the club, while not actively looking to part with the Wales international, are receptive to a potential departure should they receive a substantial bid.
The Eagles are presently the side most advanced in their interest for Johnson, but a number of sides are said to be watching developments with interest.
Last Campaign of Mixed Fortunes
Johnson was Spurs' leading Premier League scorer the previous campaign with 11 goals, and wrote his name in club history by scoring the decisive goal in their European final triumph against Manchester United last season, bringing to a close the club's 17-year wait for a major honor.
However, the departure of the previous manager and appointment of the new head coach has resulted in Johnson playing more of a reduced role this season.
The 24-year-old, has made only 6 top-flight starts under Frank.
Transfer Window Interest Grows
As a result, a series of clubs have been alerted to his likely exit ahead of the January transfer window.
Given his lack of action and the looming possibility of a global tournament on the horizon with Wales, a switch from Tottenham could benefit Johnson next month.
Johnson joined Spurs from Nottingham Forest in a deal worth £47.5m in the 2023 summer window and has registered 27 goals in all competitions.
Summary
- The Welsh international's future at Tottenham is now uncertain.
- Tottenham is not pushing for a sale but would consider offers.
- Selhurst Park officials are at the front of the queue, with other Premier League clubs interested.
- A change of manager has limited his first-team opportunities significantly.
- The January transfer window and Wales's commitments could drive a January exit.
