Johnson to decide future after Palace deal agreed

Brennan Johnson is set decide whether he wants to join Crystal Palace after the south London club agreed a £35m deal to sign the Tottenham attacker.

BBC Sport revealed on 18 December that the Eagles were advanced in their efforts to land the Wales international but decided not to make a formal move until after the two clubs faced each other in the Premier League on Sunday.

There is now an agreement between the clubs for Johnson to move across London.

However, the 24-year-old is yet to agree to join the Selhurst Park club.

Johnson is set for talks over his future in the next 48 hours, amid interest from other Premier League sides.

Tottenham are in the market for a new attacker this January which would limit Johnson’s opportunities even more.

It is understood that they have an interest in Red Bull Leipzig’s winger Yan Diomande, 19, and Manchester City attacker Savinho, 21.

BBC Sport disclosed earlier this month that Tottenham were open to selling Johnson, who was the club’s leading scorer last season with 18 goals.

He etched his name in Spurs folklore by scoring the winner in their Europa League final over Manchester United in Bilbao in May, ending the club’s 17-year wait for a trophy.

The departure of Ange Postecoglou and arrival of Thomas Frank as manager has meant Johnson has had more of a peripheral role this season.

He has made only six Premier League starts under Frank, and has not scored a league goal since the opening two games of the season.
