Crystal Palace Close In on £35m Deal for Tottenham’s Brennan Johnson

A lack of starts under Thomas Frank has aligned with Crystal Palace’s push for attacking depth to drive the move.

Overview

  • Tottenham and Crystal Palace have reached agreement on a transfer, with most outlets reporting a fee near £35m and some citing £33.5m.
  • Johnson accepted Palace after talks with Oliver Glasner, with personal terms in place and medical checks underway.
  • The winger was left out of Spurs’ Brentford squad as the deal advances, with official club confirmation and paperwork still to come.
  • Palace believe the move could be completed in time for Johnson to be involved against Newcastle on Sunday, according to multiple reports.
  • The sale follows Johnson’s reduced minutes this season under Frank, while Palace seek forward reinforcements during absences such as Ismaila Sarr at AFCON; Spurs are reported to plan reinvestment in January.
