Crystal Palace started the 2025/26 season strongly but has since slipped to 11th place in the Premier League. The club is now looking for attacking options during the January transfer window. According to Fabrizio Romano, they have received approval from Tottenham Hotspur to negotiate personal terms with Welsh international Brennan Johnson, with the deal reportedly nearing completion.
Fabrizio Romano Updates on Brennan Johnson’s Potential Move to Crystal Palace
Brennan Johnson Deal Close to Completion for Crystal Palace
Brennan Johnson joined Spurs on September 1, 2023, and had a standout 2024/25 season, scoring 18 goals in 51 matches across all tournaments. However, under new manager Thomas Frank, Johnson’s playing time has decreased.
The move to Palace appears to be in its final stages, as Johnson has been allowed to discuss terms with the club. Notably, he will not be part of the Spurs squad for their upcoming match against Brentford, indicating that a deal is imminent.
Johnson to Meet Oliver Glasner Before Finalizing Transfer
According to a report from BBC Sport, Johnson is set to meet with Palace manager Oliver Glasner before the transfer is finalized.
While Crystal Palace has agreed on several aspects of a £35 million deal with Spurs, they are waiting for the official go-ahead to complete the transfer. The meeting between Johnson and Glasner is seen as a crucial step in this process.
Johnson proved his worth last season, playing a key role in Spurs’ successful Europa League campaign by scoring five goals in 13 matches.
Bringing in a player of Johnson’s caliber would be a significant advantage for Crystal Palace.
