Johnson scored the winner for Spurs in the Europa League final last season but he has struggled for game-time under Thomas Frank this season, starting just six times in the Premier League.

Johnson was an 85th-minute substitute in last weekend’s 1-0 win away to Crystal Palace and Frank admitted after the game that competition for minutes was stern when asked about his future.

“I think Brennan is very important for us,” Frank said in his post-match press conference.

“Maybe he didn't get many minutes, but unfortunately, we can only play 11 players.

“We spoke about it before with Mo (Kudus), he's coming in and put his stamp on that right-winger position.

“Then [on] the left, we tried different solutions. [He has] still started quite a few games. I think Brennan is an important player for us.”

If Johnson were to leave Spurs, he would become the fourth-highest sale in their history, behind Gareth Bale, Harry Kane, and Kyle Walker.
