Overview
- Reports from Sky Sports, the BBC and The Athletic say the clubs have an agreement in place, but Johnson has not agreed personal terms or formally approved the move.
- Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank said Johnson remains a Spurs player and is expected to be available for the New Year’s Day match at Brentford.
- Palace have prioritised Johnson to reinforce a short-handed attack during AFCON and a heavy schedule across league, cup and Europe, with Oliver Glasner calling for additions.
- Bournemouth and other Premier League sides are monitoring the situation, with the Cherries evaluating Johnson as Antoine Semenyo edges toward a transfer to Manchester City.
- The proposed fee would be a club-record purchase for Palace and Spurs’ fourth-highest sale, even though Tottenham paid about £47.5m to sign Johnson in 2023.
