Brennan Johnson is attracting interest from a Premier League club ahead of the January transfer window, but there is one factor affecting whether he will be able to depart Tottenham Hotspur.
Brennan Johnson returned to Tottenham Hotspur as a hero after the summer, having scored the goal which won his team the Europa League final.
Despite the arrival of Mohammed Kudus over the summer, the Welshman maintained his spot in the first-team, switching to the left side of attack.
However, he appears to have fallen out of favour with Thomas Frank and is now behind Wilson Odobert in the Spurs pecking order.
Tottenham could receive a bid for Brennan Johnson from Crystal Palace
With Johnson struggling for game time, he could be on the move when the transfer window reopens next month.
According to The Telegraph, Crystal Palace are interested in the 24-year-old, as Ismaïla Sarr is currently injured and is scheduled to play at AFCON.
However, Tottenham will decide whether a move will take place, with the North London club also considering whether to freshen their squad in January.
Spurs should not be reluctant to sell Johnson
Tottenham fans will be forever grateful to Johnson for what he delivered in Bilbao, but he has been knocked out of the first-team by a player who is still a long way from reaching his potential.
Although the winger has a fairly decent goal record, he often struggles to make an impact on the pitch, and things are not about to get any easier.
Dejan Kulusevski will eventually return from injury, and a new left-wing signing could be on the cards in the near future. It would make sense for both Spurs and Johnson to arrange a permanent transfer.
