According to TeamTalk, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are closely monitoring the situation surrounding the 24-year-old player and are ready to make an offer during the winter transfer window. Despite being Tottenham’s top scorer last season with 18 goals, Johnson’s role in the team has diminished significantly this year.
Since the appointment of Thomas Frank as the new head coach, the Welshman has started just six times in Premier League matches and scored two goals since the start of the season. As Tottenham continue their massive squad overhaul, Johnson’s future in north London looks increasingly uncertain. The player’s contract runs until 2026, so the club may consider offers now to avoid losing the asset’s market value.
Villa manager Unai Emery is known for his ability to restart players’ careers. The club are looking for attacking reinforcements, especially amid the likely departure of Harvey Elliott, who has failed to adapt in Birmingham following a loan spell from Liverpool.
For Aston Villa, who are fighting for the top 4 and are successful in the European Cups, Johnson is an ideal candidate: he has experience in the Premier League, high speed and versatility on the wings.
Crystal Palace are also considering an option to sign Johnson, hoping he will become a key piece in their attack. An option with a lease is even possible, if the clubs cannot agree on a full-fledged transfer right away.
The winter window promises to be a hot one for Brennan Johnson, as a change of scenery seems the best way to revive his career.
