Spurs' European final match-winner Brennan Johnson finds himself in an uncertain future in North London due to growing top-flight attention in the attacker.
It is understood that the club, while not actively looking to part with the Wales international, are considering letting Johnson leave if they get a substantial offer.
The Eagles are presently the team most advanced in their interest for Johnson, but several clubs are believed to be keeping tabs on his status closely.
Last Campaign of Contrasts
Johnson was Spurs' top Premier League scorer last season with eleven strikes, and etched his name in club history by scoring the decisive goal in their Europa League final triumph over United last season, bringing to a close the club's seventeen-year wait for a trophy.
However, the departure of Ange Postecoglou and appointment of the new head coach has meant Johnson occupying more of a peripheral role in the current campaign.
The Welsh forward, has made only six Premier League starting appearances this term.
Transfer Market Interest Mounts
Consequently, a number of clubs have been made aware of his potential availability ahead of the January transfer window.
Considering his limited game time and the looming possibility of a World Cup on the horizon with his national team, a move away 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 scored twenty-seven goals for the club.
Summary
- Brennan Johnson's position at Spurs is currently in doubt.
- The club is not pushing for a sale but would entertain bids.
- Crystal Palace are at the front of the queue, with other Premier League clubs interested.
- A change of manager has reduced his first-team opportunities significantly.
- The January transfer window and international commitments could influence a January exit.
