Crystal Palace sign Brennan Johnson from Tottenham Hotspur for club

Crystal Palace sign Brennan Johnson from Tottenham Hotspur for club-record fee in big early January move for Oliver Glasner's side

Crystal Palace have confirmed the signing of Brennan Johnson from Tottenham Hotspur. Palace head coach Oliver Glasner said ahead of the January transfer window that his side would be active in their pursuit of additions, and the acquisition of Johnson represents a significant investment as The Eagles seek success in their domestic and European campaign.

Crystal Palace have announced the signing of Brennan Johnson from Tottenham Hotspur on a four-and-a-half year contract.

Johnson, 24, joins Palace in a club-record deal, reported to be worth £35 million. He will be eligible to make his debut for the club against Newcastle United on Sunday.

"I'm really excited and I'm really happy," Johnson told Palace's official media. "Crystal Palace are such a great club, one that I've always admired.

"It's a great time for me to be here and join the journey that this club is on – I'm super excited."

Head coach Oliver Glasner added: "I’m really delighted that Brennan has joined the club. He arrives very early in the window, so credit to the club for making this happen so quickly.

"Brennan will give us options in our attacking play with his pace and goalscoring ability and with all the upcoming games he will be a valuable addition to the squad."

Johnson departs north London after more than two years, having joined Spurs from Nottingham Forest in September 2023 for a fee in excess of £45m.

The winger managed five goals in his first season at the club, but struck 18 times in all competitions last term to finish his second campaign as Spurs' highest goalscorer.

He scored the only goal of the UEFA Europa League final in May 2025, as Spurs beat Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao to end their 17-year trophy drought.

Having been a regular for previous head coach Ange Postecoglou, Johnson's role had diminished somewhat under Thomas Frank this season, regularly appearing from the bench, with Mohammed Kudus often featuring on the right flank in his place.

The reported £35m figure is the fourth-highest transfer fee commanded by a Spurs player in history, with Johnson behind only Gareth Bale, Harry Kane and Kyle Walker.

Johnson appeared 22 times for Spurs in all competitions this season - 10 of which from the start - scoring four goals. He made 107 appearances in total for the club.

The Wales international will join Palace's push for European honours, as they face a play-off to decide whether they will reach the last 16 of the UEFA Conference League, having finished 10th in the league phase table.

Palace chairman Steve Parish said: "I’m delighted that Brennan has joined us at Crystal Palace – an exciting young talent with an excellent recent record in domestic, continental and international football.

"We feel we are the perfect place for Brennan to continue his already impressive journey, and his arrival bolsters our attacking options in what is proving our busiest season to date, competing on numerous fronts including, for the first time, in Europe."
