Five Premier League clubs are now racing to sign Brennan Johnson in January as Tottenham hope for a transfer bidding war.
Brennan Johnson’s future at Tottenham Hotspur is uncertain, given the lack of game time he has received under Thomas Frank this season.
The Wales international was a significant part of Ange Postecoglou’s side last term, grabbing 18 goals in all competitions, including his pivotal toe poke in the Europa League final in Bilbao, Spain.
This season, Johnson has scored four times, but his appearances and game time have been significantly reduced, with his latest appearance coming Spurs’ game against Liverpool, where he came off the bench.
Brentford and Ipswich Town join race for Tottenham winger Brennan Johnson
Crystal Palace are one of the sides to have been reported to be considering a move for Brennan Johnson this January, but competition for the winger is beginning to increase.
Aston Villa and Bournemouth are said to be ready to battle Palace so sign Johnson in January.
According to Football Insider, two other English sides are also now looking to join the race for the 24-year-old as they look to bolster their respective attacking options.
It is understood that Brentford and Ipswich Town have joined the race to sign Brennan Johnson in January. While Crystal Palace are looking to take the wide forward out permanently, Brentford and Ipswich are instead considering a loan deal.
Bournemouth join race for Johnson to replace Antoine Semenyo
Thomas Frank has previously stated that he would love to keep Brennan Johnson in his side, but if the Wales international does not see an increase in game time, he might be tempted to look elsewhere.
It was also relayed that Bournemouth are another side reported to be showing interest in Johnson, with the Cherries claimed to have him as a potential alternative to Antoine Semenyo.
Spurs were linked with Semenyo but have since pulled out of the race for the wide forward, and that decision could hint at the club’s lack of desire to strengthen their wide areas.
