Tottenham Open to Offloading Attacker Welsh International Johnson.

Spurs' Europa League final match-winner Brennan Johnson confronts an unclear situation at the club due to growing top-flight interest in the attacker.

Sources suggest that Tottenham, while not actively looking to sell the Welsh international, are considering a potential departure if they get a acceptable offer.

The Eagles are reportedly the team furthest along in their pursuit for Johnson, but several clubs are thought to be watching developments with interest.

Last Campaign of Contrasts

Johnson was Tottenham's leading top-flight scorer the previous campaign with eleven strikes, and secured his place in Spurs folklore by netting the decisive goal in their European final triumph against Manchester United last season, bringing to a close the club's seventeen-year wait for a trophy.

However, the exit of the previous manager and appointment of Thomas Frank has meant Johnson occupying more of a bit-part role this season.

The Welsh forward, has made only six Premier League starts under Frank.

January Market Speculation Grows

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

Due to his reduced minutes and the prospect of a global tournament approaching with his national team, a switch from Tottenham could benefit Johnson in January.

Johnson joined Tottenham from Nottingham Forest in a deal valued at £47.5m in the summer of 2023 and has scored twenty-seven goals in all competitions.

The Situation

• The Welsh international's position at Spurs is currently in doubt.
• Tottenham is not pushing for a sale but would entertain bids.
• Crystal Palace are at the front of the queue, with further Premier League clubs monitoring.
• The arrival of manager has reduced his playing time significantly.
• The upcoming transfer window and Wales's commitments could drive a January exit.
