Brennan Johnson finished at Tottenham as interest ‘intensifies’ for potential January transfer
Brennan Johnson could be in line to leave Tottenham in the upcoming January transfer window.
The Wales international has produced several big moments for the Lilywhites since his arrival from Nottingham Forest back in 2023, but his lack of consistency has frustrated at times.
Johnson scored the winner for Tottenham in their Europa League final victory back in May, but he has struggled to find form in the early stages of this campaign.
Thomas Frank has a wealth of options in the wide areas, and that has seen the 24-year-old’s gametime take a hit of late as a result.
Ademola Lookman transfer to force Brennan Johnson exit at Tottenham
Tottenham were linked with a move for Ademola Lookman in the latter stages of the summer window, and they even had the 28-year-old offered to them by Atalanta.
No deal came to fruition for the N17 outfit on that occasion, but it could be a totally different story in January after the latest developments from Italy.
The winger is understood to be “seriously considering” turning his back on Atalanta due to complications in his relationship with their boss Raffaele Palladino, according to Tutto Juve.
As a result, Atletico Madrid are now working on making contact with Lookman’s camp, and their interest has “intensified” of late due to the fact that clubs in the Premier League are also keen.
Tottenham were named specifically, and are believed to be “closely monitoring the situation” ahead of a potential move in January.
If the North Londoners could act quickly and win the race for Lookman, then it would surely spell the end for Johnson’s time at the club, as he would be pushed even further down the pecking order.

Dominic Solanke is ‘very close’ with ‘phenomenal’ Ademola Lookman
Dominic Solanke is still out injured for Tottenham, but there is hope that there is finally light at the end of the tunnel in terms of his recovery.
The striker may not be able to help Spurs on the pitch at the moment, but he could lend a huge hand in their pursuit of Lookman, given the relationship that he has with the former Everton star.
Solanke revealed in an interview with South African outlet Showmax back in 2024 that he is “very close friends” with Lookman, and added that the Charlton Athletic academy graduate has hit “phenomenal” heights in recent years.
With that in mind, he could potentially play an invaluable role in helping to convince the Atalanta wideman that a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the perfect next step for his career.
Spurs’ interest has been prolonged for several months now, and they may just need a little persuasion from Solanke to get a deal over the line.
