Crystal Palace Sign Brennan Johnson From Spurs in Club-Record £35m Deal

Reduced minutes under Thomas Frank opened the door for a record outlay by Palace.

Overview

  • Johnson signs a four-and-a-half-year contract, will wear No. 11, and is available for Sunday’s trip to Newcastle.
  • Tottenham issued an official farewell highlighting his Europa League final winner that ended the club’s 17-year trophy wait.
  • He topped Spurs’ scoring last season with 18 goals but has only six Premier League starts and four goals in 22 appearances this term.
  • The reported £35m fee is below the £47.5m Spurs paid in 2023, and his exit marks the third straight year Spurs have sold their previous season’s top scorer.
  • Palace manager Oliver Glasner and chairman Steve Parish say his pace and finishing strengthen a stretched squad competing domestically and in Europe.
