According to multiple sources, Crystal Palace have reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur over the proposed transfer of Brennan Johnson when the winter window opens, on January 1st – the services of the 24-year-old winger will cost Palace around £33.5million. However, the deal is not done yet, with Johnson himself still to decide whether to accept the move to Selhurst Park.
Palace and Spurs have been in talks on this subject for several weeks, with the USA international unable to nail down a regular starting spot under Thomas Frank and the Eagles needing to fill the place of Ismaila Sarr, currently representing Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations. Also, Palace club are keen to show manager Oliver Glasner that they’re prepared to back him in the transfer market, hoping to persuade him to stay beyond the end of the season, when his contract expires.
Unless Johnson decides to reject this transfer, this agreement will have come as a certain blow to Bournemouth, who were looking at Johnson as a potential replacement for Antoine Semenyo.
As of now, Semenyo looks set to join Manchester City, though that saga may yet take another twist as well.
