Crystal Palace have confirmed that Brennan Johnson is set to join the club from Tottenham in a deal worth £35 million. The 24-year-old Wales international is expected to complete medical checks on Friday, which would allow him to be included in Palace’s squad for Sunday’s Premier League match against Newcastle.
On Thursday, Brennan Johnson met with Palace manager Oliver Glasner and key members of the club’s hierarchy to discuss the move. These discussions were successful, putting Johnson on the verge of officially joining Selhurst Park.
Transfer Fee Agreed: Brennan Johnson Moves for £35m
Crystal Palace made Brennan Johnson their top target this January. The club agreed a £35 million fee with Tottenham earlier in the week, finalizing the financial terms of the transfer. Tottenham had reportedly been open to selling Johnson, recognizing that he was not part of manager Thomas Frank’s long-term plans.
Last season, Brennan Johnson was Tottenham’s leading scorer with 18 goals. His standout performance included scoring the winning goal in Tottenham’s Europa League victory over Manchester United in Bilbao. Despite his personal success, Johnson has decided to seek a new challenge at Crystal Palace.
With the transfer nearing completion, Brennan Johnson is expected to make an immediate impact at Selhurst Park. Palace fans will hope that Johnson’s scoring ability can help boost their Premier League campaign in the second half of the season.
