Tottenham Considering Selling Forward Welsh International Johnson.
Spurs' European final match-winner Brennan Johnson finds himself in an uncertain future in North London due to rising top-flight interest in the attacker.
Sources suggest that the club, while not actively seeking to sell the Wales international, are receptive to letting Johnson leave should they receive a acceptable bid.
Crystal Palace are presently the club most advanced in their pursuit for Johnson, but a number of sides are thought to be watching developments with interest.
Last Campaign of Mixed Fortunes
Johnson was Tottenham's leading Premier League goalscorer the previous campaign with eleven goals, and secured his place in Spurs folklore by scoring the decisive goal in their Europa League final triumph over United last season, ending the club's seventeen-year wait for a trophy.
However, the exit of Ange Postecoglou and appointment of the new head coach has meant Johnson occupying more of a bit-part role this season.
The 24-year-old, has made only 6 Premier League starting appearances under Frank.
January Market Speculation Grows
Therefore, a host of clubs have been alerted to his likely exit before the winter transfer window.
Given his lack of action and the looming possibility of a global tournament approaching with his national team, a move away from Tottenham could benefit Johnson in January.
The attacker moved to Tottenham from Nottingham Forest in a deal valued at £47.5m in the summer of 2023 and has scored 27 goals in all competitions.

- The club is not pushing for a sale but would entertain bids.
