Tottenham Ready to Cash In: Brennan Johnson Could Be on the Move Amid Coaching Shake-Up

Transfer outlook

Brennan Johnson, Tottenham's Europa League final hero, faces an unsettled future as Premier League clubs increasingly circle to lure him away from this north London club altogether.

Tottenham, while not actively seeking to sell the Welsh international, are open to letting him move on if a suitable bid arrives. They won't push him, door ajar for now.

Crystal Palace are the club most advanced in their interest in Johnson at the moment, while other clubs monitor the player's situation closely.

Johnson's role under the new coach

Johnson finished as Tottenham's top scorer in the Premier League last season with 11 goals, and he wrote his name into the club's history by scoring the Europa League final winner against Manchester United in Bilbao, ending Spurs' 17-year wait for a trophy.

But the departure of coach Ange Postecoglou and the appointment of Thomas Frank as the new head coach has left Johnson's role more marginal this season.

At 24, the winger has started just six Premier League games under Frank this season, a sharp drop from his previous workload.

As a result, several clubs have begun to consider Johnson's availability ahead of the January transfer window.

With his playing time dwindling and the World Cup looming for Wales in European playoff qualifiers, a move away from Tottenham could suit Johnson in the coming month.

Johnson joined Tottenham from Nottingham Forest in 2023 for 47.5 million pounds and has since scored 27 goals for the London club.

Punchline: If he leaves, Tottenham might finally discover where those goals went—perhaps to a mystery freezer. Punchline 2: January windows—where players learn to love deadlines.
