Overview
- Johnson signed a four-and-a-half-year contract, will wear the No 11 shirt, and is eligible for Sunday’s trip to Newcastle.
- Tottenham issued a farewell statement highlighting Johnson’s Europa League final winner, after he led Spurs with 18 goals last season.
- This season he made only six Premier League starts and four goals in 22 appearances as summer arrivals reduced his opportunities.
- The reported £35m fee is below the £47.5m Spurs paid Nottingham Forest in 2023 and continues a run of Spurs selling their previous season’s top scorer for a third straight year.
- Palace manager Oliver Glasner welcomed the early-window addition to boost attacking options during a heavy fixture load, with cover also needed during Ismaila Sarr’s AFCON absence.
