Transfer Update -Tottenham Hotspur

Crystal Palace are pushing hard ahead of the January transfer window after continuous complaints from Oliver Glasner.

The Austrian manager wanted Palace to invest in their squad. However, they failed to match his expectations in the summer.

Now, the club know they need attacking reinforcements, especially out wide. Palace have been monitoring a number of options.

They wanted a proven Premier League attacker could make an immediate impact. So, they are eyeing a move for a Tottenham Hotspur player.

According to The Athletic, Palace have now reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur to sign Brennan Johnson. The fee is understood to be around £35 million.

Palace believe there are few better options available this month. They were willing to meet Tottenham’s valuation to move the deal forward.

However, the move is not done yet. The final decision now lies with the player. Palace are hoping to act quickly to avoid late complications, as other Premier League clubs are watching closely.

Everton and AFC Bournemouth have both shown interest. The Cherries’ position could change depending on the future of Antoine Semenyo.

The Ghana international has expressed his wish to join Manchester City once the Citizens trigger his release clause.

Palace, though, feel they are in a strong position, after agreeing a fee with the Spurs. Now, they want a quick answer from Brennan Johnson.

The Wales international has been described as an outstanding talent. Palace believe he could transform their right side immediately.

The next few days will decide whether Selhurst Park is his next destination.
