Tottenham Hotspur's European final match-winner Brennan Johnson confronts an unclear situation in North London amid growing top-flight attention in the attacker.
It is understood that Tottenham, while not actively seeking to part with the Welsh international, are considering a potential departure in the event of a substantial bid.
The Eagles are reportedly the club most advanced in their interest for Johnson, but several clubs are thought to be keeping tabs on his status with interest.
Johnson was Spurs' leading Premier League goalscorer the previous campaign with 11 goals, and etched his name in Spurs folklore by scoring the decisive goal in their Europa League final triumph over United in Bilbao, bringing to a close the club's 17-year wait for a trophy.
However, the exit of Ange Postecoglou and arrival of the new head coach has meant Johnson occupying more of a peripheral role this season.
The 24-year-old, has been granted only 6 top-flight starts under Frank.
Consequently, a host of clubs have been alerted to his likely exit ahead of the January transfer window.
Due to his limited game time and the prospect of a World Cup approaching with his national team, a transfer elsewhere from Tottenham may suit Johnson next month.
The attacker moved to Tottenham from Forest in a deal worth £47.5m in the summer of 2023 and has registered 27 goals in all competitions.
