"Crystal Palace are exploring an ambitious January swoop for Tottenham Hotspur winger Brennan Johnson, according to The Telegraph. Manager Oliver Glasner is eager to strengthen his attacking options as the Eagles look to push for European qualification in the second half of the season. Palace have identified Johnson as one of several potential attacking targets, with the Wales international seen as an ideal fit for Glasner's high-tempo system."
"Crystal Palace want to add more attacking depth Glasner's side have shown flashes of brilliance this campaign but have struggled with depth in attack. Ismaila Sarr's ankle ligament injury, coupled with his likely participation in the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal, has left Palace short of options in wide areas. The Austrian coach is determined to bring in reinforcements to ease the pressure on his current attackers."
"Since his 47.5 million move from Nottingham Forest in 2023, Johnson has had mixed fortunes at Spurs. He wrote his name into club folklore with his Europa League final-winning goal, but under new manager Thomas Frank, the winger has struggled for regular minutes this season. Reports suggest that Spurs' stance will dictate whether a move materialises. Tottenham are not actively looking to sell Johnson but could be open to loan offers if they secure an attacking reinforcement of their own in January."
