There has been a huge update on Brennan Johnson’s future as the possibility of him leaving Tottenham in January becomes more likely.
Johnson finished last season at Tottenham’s top goalscorer with 18 goals, but the winger has struggled to get regular game time since Thomas Frank walked through the door.
Reports indicate that the Spurs winger has not convinced Frank and his coaching staff, and his future at the North London club is in major doubt.
Just a couple of days ago, it emerged that Crystal Palace are eyeing a January deal for Johnson in an effort to cover for the absence of Ismaila Sarr, who will be away at AFCON with Senegal.

The report says that Frank wants to strengthen his attack in January, and the club are now giving serious thought to cashing in on Johnson as interest in his services continues to grow.
Interestingly, it is revealed that it is not just Palace who want to sign the pacy Tottenham winger.

What is Spurs’ asking price for Johnson?
TEAMtalk say that Tottenham’s stance on the 24-year-old will be seriously tested next month, amidst the growing interest in the player.
It is revealed that the North London club value Johnson at £50m, but according to sources close to the club, they could accept a slightly lower fee.
Spurs are open to offering a discount for the pacy winger if certain fee conditions are included in the deal, which could give the Lilywhites their initial outlet on the player back.
