Tottenham agree fee to sell Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace, but one big step remains

Tottenham Hotspur have come to a final decision on whether to sell Brennan Johnson, but there is one factor which could prevent a move from taking place.

Brennan Johnson is yet to start a Premier League match since the 2-2 draw with Newcastle at the beginning of the month.

The winger has only played 47 minutes of football since this point, five of which came in Tottenham Hotspur’s recent 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace.

Therefore it is no surprise that Johnson has been linked with a move away from Spurs and one report has revealed Crystal Palace want to sign the Wales international in January.

Tottenham have agreed to sell Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace

According to The Athletic, Crystal Palace have now had a bid accepted by Tottenham which is believed to be approaching £35m.

Other clubs remain interested in signing Johnson, but Palace are the first to agree a deal with Tottenham Hotspur. 

Johnson still holds the power to decide where his future lies and he has the option to reject a move to the South London based club.

Crystal Palace would be a good destination for Johnson

Although Spurs recently got the better of Palace, they are a team who appear to be heading in the right direction.

The Eagles are the reigning champions of the FA Cup and the Community Shield and despite a dip in form, they still sit in the top half of the Premier League table.

Johnson does not have a long-term future at Tottenham and so he should seriously consider making the switch to Crystal Palace, where he could become a first-team starter again.
