Crystal Palace Enters the Race to Sign Tottenham Player
The website "CaughtOffside" revealed that Crystal Palace is considering signing Tottenham Hotspur winger Bryan Johnson during the January transfer window, in a move aimed at strengthening their attack in preparation for competing for European qualification in the second half of the season.
The 24-year-old international player is an ideal fit for head coach Oliver Glasner's high-tempo style, thanks to his ability to play in all attacking positions and his tactical versatility, giving him an advantage as a versatile attacking substitute.
Crystal Palace's interest comes after the team faced offensive pressure that led to a shortage of options on the wings, prompting Glassner to seek reinforcements to ease the burden on the current forwards.
Johnson transferred to Tottenham in the summer of 2023 for £47.5 million from Nottingham Forest. He made his mark by scoring the winning goal in the Europa League final, but he has not received regular playing time under coach Thomas Frank this season, as competition for positions remains intense.
The same source confirmed that Tottenham's position will determine the possibility of completing the deal, as the English club is not looking to sell the player permanently but may agree to a loan if they secure offensive reinforcements in January. Frank continues to appreciate Johnson's energy and effort, but his future in North London is not entirely guaranteed.
Crystal Palace's interest in Johnson reflects the club's ambition to strengthen their attacking quality under Glatzel's leadership, who has the support of the club president and the sporting director.
