Crystal Palace to seal £35m Spurs deal - Ipswich Town will have one eye on transfer | OneFootball

Kieran McKenna and Ipswich Town will have an eye on Crystal Palace potentially sealing a £35m deal with Spurs in the coming days.

Crystal Palace are eyeing a deal for an Ipswich Town transfer target, with the player set to decide on his future in the coming days ahead of the opening of the transfer window.

In terms of wide forwards, Jack Clarke, Jaden Philogene, and Sindre Walle Egeli were all signed in the last couple of seasons in big-money transfers. Alongside Omari Hutchinson, they are four of the six most expensive signings in the club's history.

Kasey McAteer is also on the books and was not a cheap arrival, while Wes Burns has recovered from a long-term injury recently. He scored for Ipswich in their win over Coventry City on Monday night.

However, Kieran McKenna rotates the players in these positions with a degree of regularity. The same was true in their previous campaigns outside of the Premier League. It means depth and options are required to meet the demands and keep competition for places high.

Brennan Johnson set for Crystal Palace talks after Spurs agree fee for Ipswich target

Per Fabrizio Romano, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth both approached Spurs to ask for the conditions of a deal for Brennan Johnson. He reports that Johnson could leave Tottenham in the January transfer window.

To the surprise of many, Ipswich have been linked with Johnson. It appears McKenna is an admirer of the forward, albeit the interest may only be firmed up if they are promoted to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Johnson scored the winner for Spurs against Man United in the UEFA Europa League final back in May, with a switch to the second tier unlikely and promotion likely to be the only way of securing him.

While that interest may remain in Spurs' out-of-favour winger, others in the top flight have the opportunity to secure his services in January instead. It's reported by Sky Sports' Michael Bridge that a £35 million move has been agreed with Crystal Palace.

It's been stated by David Ornstein that he is yet to accept the move and that there are also more suitors in the mix for the Welshman, albeit there is no mention of Ipswich in the latest reports.

How likely Brennan Johnson is to join Ipswich Town

Should Johnson decide to remain with Spurs until the summer, he may have more options available to him in terms of other clubs. That could include Ipswich, and there is no guarantee that he will accept Palace's current offer.

BBC Sport's Sami Mokbel has explained Johnson is now to hold talks over his future in next 48 hours after Palace agreed a fee to sign the Tottenham attacker. Ipswich may have some hope in the longer-term, but that is only if Johnson bide his time until May and beyond.

For now, they are one of the teams with the most quality out wide in the second tier. It should be enough for the remainder of the season and other priorities ought to be addressed in the winter market.
