Tottenham Considering Selling Attacker Welsh International Johnson.

Brennan Johnson in action
Brennan Johnson has won 42 times for Wales since making his debut two years ago.

Tottenham Hotspur's European final match-winner Brennan Johnson is facing an uncertain future in North London amid rising Premier League attention in his services.

It is understood that Tottenham, while not actively looking to sell the Wales international, are receptive to a potential departure if they get a substantial bid.

Crystal Palace are reportedly the team furthest along in their pursuit for Johnson, but a number of sides are believed to be monitoring his situation with interest.

Last Campaign of Contrasts

Johnson was Spurs' leading Premier League goalscorer the previous campaign with 11 strikes, and secured his place in Spurs folklore by scoring the winner in their European final victory against United in Bilbao, bringing to a close the club's seventeen-year wait for a major honor.

However, the departure of the previous manager and arrival of Thomas Frank has resulted in Johnson playing more of a reduced role this season.

The 24-year-old, has made only 6 Premier League starts this term.

Transfer Market Speculation Grows

Therefore, a host of clubs have been made aware of his potential availability before the January transfer window.

Given his lack of action and the looming possibility of a global tournament on the horizon with Wales, a move away from Tottenham could benefit Johnson next month.

The attacker moved to Spurs from Forest in a deal worth £47.5m in the summer of 2023 and has scored twenty-seven goals in all competitions.

Summary

  • The Welsh international's future at Tottenham is currently in doubt.
  • The club is not pushing for a sale but would entertain bids.
  • Crystal Palace are leading the chase, with other Premier League clubs interested.
  • The arrival of manager has limited his playing time this season.
  • The upcoming transfer window and Wales's commitments could drive a January exit.
