Crystal Palace sign Brennan Johnson from Tottenham in club-record deal
The forward has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal at Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace have confirmed the signing of forward Brennan Johnson from Tottenham Hotspur in a club-record transfer.
The £35m deal will see the 24-year-old Wales international pen a four-and-a-half year deal and will wear the No. 11 shirt for the Eagles.
Johnson, who scored the only goal of the game as Spurs ended a 17-year wait for a trophy with victory over Manchester United in last season’s Europe League final, will be eligible to make his Palace debut against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park on Sunday.
The forward was named Championship Young Player of the Season in Nottingham Forest’s 2021/22 promotion-winning season and has won 42 senior caps for Wales.
About Johnson’s arrival, Palace manager Oliver Glasner said: “I’m really delighted that Brennan has joined the club. He arrives very early in the window, so credit to the club for making this happen so quickly.
“Brennan will give us options in our attacking play with his pace and goalscoring ability and with all the upcoming games he will be a valuable addition to the squad.”
Johnson added: “I’m really excited and I’m really happy. Crystal Palace are such a great club, one that I’ve always admired.
“It’s a great time for me to be here and join the journey that this club is on – I’m super excited.”
