Tottenham star Brennan Johnson could be set for an exit in the January transfer window, as it appears a deal for him to join London rivals Crystal Palace has been agreed.

Brennan Johnson could be set to make a move in the January transfer window, as reports claim Tottenham have agreed a deal to sell the winger to Crystal Palace in the coming weeks. A £35m fee has been quoted for the Welshman, who has struggled for game time under new boss Thomas Frank.

Johnson joined Tottenham from Nottingham Forest in 2023, paying £47.5m to land the forward as part of their project for Ange Postecoglou. There was an immediate impact from him, as the summer recruit found himself among the goals regularly for Spurs.

His high energy in pressing and ability to find space at the back post regularly made him a threat and maximised his ability. In the end, Johnson was the player to end the club's wait for a trophy, scoring the winning goal in the Europa League final to beat Manchester United - adding some gloss to an otherwise dismal 2024/25 campaign.

That wasn't enough for Postecoglou to keep his job, and his exit ushered in a new era with Frank at the helm. In the Dane's time so far, he has yet to give Johnson many opportunities, and that has now paved the way for a possible exit in January.

So, with that said, here's a look back at Johnson's best moments for Tottenham as he closes in on a transfer to Crystal Palace in the coming weeks.

A first Tottenham goal for Brennan Johnson

It took just under two months for Johnson to get on the scoresheet for the first time in a Tottenham shirt. He scored in a 2-1 defeat to Wolves, but it was a moment that kicked off his scoring run.

Stoppage time winner against Brighton

In early 2024, Johnson sent the Tottenham fans into emphatic scenes as he scored a stoppage-time winner over Brighton. He was then instrumental to the team during a period ravaged with injuries.

It was a positive first campaign for Johnson at Tottenham, as he ended the season with five goals and ten assists to his name.

Incredible scoring streak

While the 2024/25 season started in difficult circumstances for Johnson, following online abuse, he quickly responded in fine fashion. The forward scored in seven games in a row, and those were:
   •  18 September 2024 – Coventry City – Carabao Cup
   •  21 September – Brentford – Premier League
   •  26 September – Qarabag – Europa League
   •  29 September – Manchester United – Premier League
   •  3 October – Ferencvaros – Europa League
   •  6 October – Brighton – Premier League

Tottenham's Europa League winning goal

The highlight of Johnson's career at Tottenham will certainly be his winning goal for the club in their Europa League final against Manchester United. It was the only one of the match, and ended a 17-year wait to lift silverware.

Celebrations commenced

Celebrations quickly followed on the pitch at the San Mames, as plenty of players took their moment to enjoy the occasion. Johnson was in high demand for a photo, given his involvement in the goal.

A memorable trophy parade for Tottenham

The trophy parade that followed for Tottenham was one that many will remember for years to come. Johnson was certainly a lively character at the event, loving every moment of it.
