Spurs Considering Offloading Forward Welsh International Johnson.
Tottenham Hotspur's Europa League final hero Brennan Johnson finds himself in an uncertain future at the club due to rising top-flight attention in the attacker.
Sources suggest that the club, while not actively looking to part with the Wales international, are open to letting Johnson leave in the event of a suitable offer.
Crystal Palace are currently the club furthest along in their pursuit for Johnson, but other teams are believed to be keeping tabs on his status with interest.
Last Campaign of Mixed Fortunes
Johnson was Spurs' top top-flight scorer the previous campaign with eleven goals, and secured his place in club history by netting the decisive goal in their Europa League final victory against Manchester United in Bilbao, ending the club's 17-year wait for a trophy.
However, the departure of the previous manager and arrival of the new head coach has resulted in Johnson playing more of a reduced role this season.
The Welsh forward, has been granted only 6 top-flight starting appearances this term.
January Window Speculation Mounts
As a result, a series of clubs have been alerted to his possible departure before the winter transfer window.
Due to his limited game time and the looming possibility of a global tournament on the horizon with his national team, a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could benefit Johnson in January.
The attacker moved to Spurs from Forest in a deal worth £47.5m in the summer of 2023 and has registered twenty-seven goals in all competitions.
Key Points
