TOTTENHAM have agreed to sell Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace in a £35million deal.
Johnson, 24, joined Spurs from Nottingham Forest for around £47.5m in 2023 and has been a relative success in north London.
He scored five times from 34 appearances during his first season, before netting 18 in the 2024-25 campaign and ending the season as Tottenham’s top scorer.
And Johnson ensured he would go down in Tottenham folklore after netting the winner against Manchester United in the Europa League final.
But after losing his place in the team under Thomas Frank, an offer is on the table to start fresh with Palace.
It’s understood Bournemouth were also keen on signing Johnson when the January transfer window opened.
Their interest in the player could complicate any deal for Antoine Semenyo, who is a target for a number of clubs next month.
The winger looked set to join Manchester City in a £65m deal, but Spurs were also said to be eyeing up the player until the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal joined the race.
Should Semenyo end up joining City, it could clear the path for Spurs to return for Savinho after failing in a bid for the Brazilian in the summer.
Frank is likely to pursue a new left winger in January after experimenting with a number of options in the position, including Wilson Odobert, Kolo Randal Muani, Xavi Simons and Johnson himself.

Johnson has only managed six starts in the Premier League this season, scoring twice, with a further ten appearances coming off the bench.
He has four goals in all competitions but not enjoyed the same amount of game time as he did under Ange Postecoglou in the last two seasons.
Johnson played the last five minutes of Tottenham’s win over Palace at Selhurst Park and Frank discussed his future after the game.
He insisted he wanted Johnson to stay put and called him a “very important player” in his squad.
Frank said: “I think Brennan is very important for us. Maybe he didn’t get many minutes, but unfortunately, we can only play 11 players.
“We spoke about it before with Mo (Kudus), he’s coming in and put his stamp on that right-winger position.
“Then [on] the left, we tried different solutions. [He has] still started quite a few games. I think Brennan is an important player for us.”
Tottenham are also being linked with out-of-favour Manchester City star Omar Marmoush in January.
