Brennan Johnson’s long-term place at Tottenham has become uncertain as Premier League rivals circle the attacker following a reduced role this season.
While Tottenham are not actively seeking to offload the Wales international, the club are prepared to consider a departure if an acceptable proposal is submitted.
Crystal Palace are currently leading the pursuit, though several other sides are understood to be tracking developments closely.
Interest has intensified with the January transfer window approaching, alerting clubs to the possibility that Johnson could be available.
Johnson enjoyed a standout campaign last season, finishing as Spurs’ top league scorer with 11 goals.
He also delivered one of the most significant moments in the club’s recent history by netting the decisive goal in the Europa League final against Manchester United in Bilbao, securing Tottenham’s first trophy in 17 years.
However, the exit of Ange Postecoglou and the appointment of Thomas Frank have altered his standing within the squad.
Under the new head coach, Johnson has been limited to just six Premier League starts, pushing him to the margins of first-team selection.
The attacker’s limited involvement has prompted renewed discussion around his future, particularly with international ambitions in mind.
With a World Cup approaching for Wales, regular playing time is likely to be a priority as he looks to cement his place.
Johnson, now 24, arrived from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2023 in a move valued at £47.5m.
Since joining Spurs, he has registered 27 goals, but a switch away from north London next month could suit both player and club.
