Spurs Open to Selling Attacker Welsh International Johnson.

Wales international Brennan Johnson
Brennan Johnson has earned forty-two times with the Welsh national team after his first appearance two years ago.

Spurs' European final match-winner Brennan Johnson is facing an unclear situation in North London due to increasing Premier League interest in his services.

It is understood that the club, while not actively looking to part with the Wales international, are considering letting Johnson leave should they receive a suitable bid.

The Eagles are reportedly the team most advanced in their interest for Johnson, but other teams are said to be keeping tabs on his status with interest.

A Season of Contrasts

Johnson was Spurs' leading Premier League scorer last season with eleven goals, and etched his name in Spurs folklore by scoring the decisive goal in their Europa League final triumph over Manchester United in Bilbao, bringing to a close the club's seventeen-year wait for a trophy.

However, the exit of Ange Postecoglou and appointment of Thomas Frank has meant Johnson playing more of a reduced role this season.

The Welsh forward, has been granted only 6 top-flight starting appearances under Frank.

January Window Interest Mounts

As a result, a series of clubs have been made aware of his likely exit ahead of the January transfer window.

Due to his lack of action and the looming possibility of a World Cup on the horizon with his national team, a transfer elsewhere from Tottenham could benefit Johnson next month.

The attacker moved to Tottenham from Forest in a deal valued at £47.5m in the summer of 2023 and has scored twenty-seven goals in all competitions.

Key Points

  • The Welsh international's position at Spurs is currently in doubt.
  • Tottenham is not actively marketing him but would entertain bids.
  • Selhurst Park officials are at the front of the queue, with further Premier League clubs monitoring.
  • The arrival of manager has limited his playing time this season.
  • The upcoming transfer window and international commitments could drive a January exit.
