Crystal Palace have reportedly agreed a £35 million transfer fee with Tottenham Hotspur to sign winger Brennan Johnson in the January transfer window. While the clubs have settled the financial terms, Johnson has yet to make a final decision about his next move, with interest from Bournemouth also reported.
The 24-year-old Welsh international joined Spurs from Nottingham Forest in 2023 and has struggled for consistent first-team opportunities this season. Despite limited game time, Johnson was a key figure last season, finishing as Tottenham’s top scorer and scoring the winning goal in their Europa League final victory.
Bournemouth are also in the race to sign Johnson as they look to strengthen their squad following potential departures. The player’s decision will be closely watched as clubs vie for his signature, with Palace appearing to lead the negotiations so far.
Palace manager Oliver Glasner has remained cautious about publicly discussing the transfer, noting that the January window is unpredictable and no deal is final until signed. Similarly, Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has stated that Johnson is expected to remain available for selection for upcoming fixtures despite the ongoing speculation.
If completed, the move would represent a major signing for Crystal Palace as they seek to bolster their attacking options during a busy January schedule, which includes both Premier League matches and domestic cup competitions. The transfer could provide a boost to the squad and strengthen Palace’s offensive capabilities for the second half of the season.
