A new report has shed light on Brennan Johnson’s stance on swapping Tottenham Hotspur for Crystal Palace in the January transfer window.

It has been widely reported over recent days that Crystal Palace are eyeing a January deal for Johnson, who has found starts hard to come by under Thomas Frank at Spurs this term.

Although as many as five Premier League clubs want the Tottenham winger, one clear front-runner is emerging.

The Eagles are the club with the most advanced interest in Johnson, and it has now been revealed what the 24-year-old is thinking about a move to South London.

TEAMtalk say that Palace are now growing ‘increasingly optimistic’ about landing the former Nottingham Forest man in January.

It is revealed that agreeing on personal terms with Johnson will not be a problem for the South London club, with the player willing to make the move.

Oliver Glasner has identified the Spurs man as the ‘ideal addition’ for his forward line, with the Austrian coach wanting a versatile attacker with pace to burn.

The report says that staying in London is ‘an attractive factor’ for Johnson, who is eager to get consistent minutes under his belt ahead of the 2026 World Cup, which Wales can qualify for through the playoffs.

What is Spurs’ stance on selling Johnson?

TEAMtalk say that Tottenham are open to sanctioning the 24-year-old’s departure next month, either on loan or permanently.

This is because Thomas Frank wants to reshape his attacking options and add reinforcements to his forward line.

It is suggested that the Lilywhites want to recoup a significant portion of their outlay on Johnson, and that a fee in the region of £30m-£40m may be accepted depending on the structure of the agreement.
