A handful of Tottenham players have also sent messages to the now Crystal Palace winger
Brennan Johnson has sent Tottenham a five-word goodbye message after completing his January move to Crystal Palace.
The 24-year-old put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half year deal at Selhurst Park on Friday, with the Eagles paying £35million for the Welshman's services. The former Nottingham Forest man was Tottenham's top scorer last season and produced the winner in the Europa League final against Manchester United to end Tottenham’s 17-year wait for silverware.
However, he has largely been a back-up to summer recruit Mohammed Kudus since Thomas Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou. After completing the move to south London, Johnson took to Instagram to share an emotional video of his best Spurs highlights.
The winger also posted a message alongside the video, which reads: "Been a ride. Thank you @spursofficial." A number of his now former Tottenham teammates have commented on the post, such as Destiny Udogie, James Maddison and Micky van de Ven.
Johnson is set to make his debut for Palace in their Premier League match against Newcastle at St James’ Park on Sunday. “I’m really excited and I’m really happy,” he said.
“Crystal Palace are such a great club, one that I’ve always admired. It’s a great time for me to be here and join the journey that this club is on.”
Palace manager Oliver Glasner said: “I’m really delighted that Brennan has joined the club. He arrives very early in the window, so credit to the club for making this happen so quickly.
“Brennan will give us options in our attacking play with his pace and goalscoring ability and with all the upcoming games he will be a valuable addition to the squad.”
