Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in signing 24-year-old Tottenham attacker Brennan Johnson in the coming months.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Crystal Palace are now increasingly confident of signing Brennan Johnson, and he is likely to cost around £30-40 million.
Tottenham paid £47.5 million for Johnson when they signed him from Nottingham Forest. However, he has been quite inconsistent. It is clear that the Welsh international has not been able to live up to the expectations, and it could be wise of Tottenham to sell the player and move on.
The Lilywhites need better players at their disposal if they want to fight for major trophies, and selling Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace could be ideal for them. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace need more quality on the flanks, especially after the departure of Eberechi Eze to Arsenal at the start of the season. Johnson could fill the void left by the England international.
The player will be desperate to get his career back on track and compete at a high level, while Crystal Palace could provide him with that opportunity. He will be able to compete at a high level without being put under too much pressure at the London club.
Crystal Palace move could be ideal for Johnson
Oliver Glasner might be able to unlock his true potential and bring out the best in Brennan Johnson. Crystal Palace are competing in European football, and they will be an attractive destination for most players.
The player has the ability to justify the £30-40 million investment, and it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds. However, apart from Crystal Palace, other Premier League clubs are also keen on securing his services.
Tottenham should look to cut their losses on him and bring in an upgrade. Johnson is still a relatively young player with a lot of time to fulfil his potential. A fresh start at Crystal Palace would be ideal for him. Sitting on the bench at Tottenham is unlikely to benefit the player. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can agree on a deal in the coming months.
