Crystal Palace announce signing of Brennan Johnson | OneFootball

Welsh forward Brennan Johnson has joined Crystal Palace from Tottenham on a four-and-a-half year deal.

He will wear the number 11 shirt for Palace and will be in contention to make his debut for the Eagles this weekend against Newcastle United.

Johnson scored 27 goals for Spurs in 107 appearances, including the all-important winning goal in the Europa League final last season against Manchester United.

The game finished 1-0 and the Europa League was the first trophy Tottenham have won in 17 years.

Palace manager Oliver Glasner said on the signing: “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 said: “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.”
