"Brennan Johnson on Friday completed a move from Tottenham to Crystal Palace for a reported fee of £35 million (AU$70,362,425). The Wales international, 24, has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal at Selhurst Park.

""I'm really excited and I'm really happy," said Johnson, who is Palace's record signing. "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." Palace manager Oliver Glasner said: "Brennan will give us options in our attacking play with his pace and goalscoring ability.""
Brennan Johnson transferred from Tottenham to Crystal Palace for a reported £35 million and signed a four-and-a-half-year deal at Selhurst Park. The 24-year-old Wales international is Palace's record signing and is expected to make his debut against Newcastle. Johnson scored 18 goals last season and scored the winner in the Europa League final against Manchester United. He fell out of favour under Thomas Frank and largely served as a back-up to Mohammed Kudus at Spurs. Palace manager Oliver Glasner said Johnson will add pace and goalscoring options. Palace sit tenth and aim to end a six-match winless run. Liverpool are closing in on Club Brugge centre-half Joel Ordonez as defensive reinforcement, and Raheem Sterling pursues a permanent Chelsea exit with two London clubs reportedly interested.
