Brennan Johnson Joins Crystal Palace in £35m Spurs Exit After Europa League Final Heroics

Brennan Johnson has completed a £35m move from Tottenham to Crystal Palace, ending his Spurs spell less than a year after scoring the Europa League final winner. Palace want his pace and goals to fix a recent attacking dip and push on in the league and Europe. Johnson slipped down the pecking order after Thomas Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou, prompting Spurs to accept a deal with Palace. He held role talks with Oliver Glasner and arrives early in the window as Palace prepare for Newcastle and Aston Villa, with attacking rotation also affected by Ismaila Sarr’s AFCON duty.

Glasner’s stock rises as United and Chelsea watch

Glasner’s FA Cup-winning run and steady authority at Palace have pushed him onto shortlists at “big clubs.” Amorim steadied United after October; Maresca’s Chelsea remain erratic. Bookmakers now rate Glasner a live contender if either club changes coach. Glasner played down speculation, stressing present focus and daily alignment talks with chairman Steve Parish. He framed any future step as vision-led, not opportunistic: matching goals, process, and resourcing before committing—otherwise part ways cleanly.
