Tottenham Hotspur have struck an agreement with Crystal Palace regarding Brennan Johnson, and the club have identified one of the most exciting young wingers in Europe as a replacement for the Wales international.
The speculation linking Johnson with a move to Selhurst Park has intensified, with the Tottenham winger now thought to be edging closer to a transfer.
In fact, over the last 24 hours, reports have indicated that Spurs have agreed a £35m deal with Palace for the winger, who has started just six Premier League games under Thomas Frank this term.
A lot of Tottenham fans think Spurs are selling Brennan Johnson too cheaply, and it has now emerged that the Lilywhites have identified an expensive replacement for Johnson.
Spurs identify Bundesliga starlet as Brennan Johnson replacement
A new report in BBC Sport has backed up the claim about Spurs and the Eagles striking a £35m agreement for the Wales international.
The outlet says that Brennan Johnson is now set to decide whether he wants to make the move to South London, with the winger set for talks over his future in the next 48 hours.
It is revealed that should the former Nottingham Forest agree to a departure, Tottenham could push ahead with a move for RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande.
Diomande, who has a £87m release clause at Leipzig, has been one of the most exciting wingers on show in the Bundesliga this season, with six goals and three assists in 14 league outings.
Tottenham will face intense competition for Yan Diomande
The Lilywhites would not just have to contend with the Leipzig man’s huge release clause but also face intense competition for his signature.
Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and PSG are also said to be following Diomande’s situation, making it a difficult deal for Spurs to complete.
Additionally, it has been reported that Liverpool have held advanced talks over a deal for the 19-year-old Tottenham target, with the Reds eyeing him as a potential replacement for Mohammed Salah.
