“It’s a great time to be here and be a part of the journey this club is on. I’m really excited.”
Head coach Oliver Glasner added: “We’re really pleased to have Brennan join the club. He arrives very early on and I’d like to thank the club for making this happen so quickly.”
“Brennan’s speed and scoring ability will give us options in our offensive play. He will be a valuable addition to our team in all future games.”
The winger only scored five goals in his first season at the club, but finished last season as Spurs’ top scorer with 18 goals.
In May 2025, he scored the only goal in the UEFA Europa League final as Spurs defeated Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao, ending a 17-year trophy drought.
Although a regular under former head coach Ange Postecoglou, Johnson’s role has been slightly reduced this season under manager Thomas Frank, appearing regularly off the bench, with Mohamed Kudus often playing in his place on the right wing this season.
Johnson has made 21 appearances in all competitions for Spurs this season, scoring four goals. He has appeared in a total of 106 games for the club.
The Wales international will join Palace’s quest for European honors as they finish 10th in the league phase table and head into the play-offs to decide whether they progress to the last 16 of the UEFA Conference League.
Palace Chairman Steve Parish said: “We are delighted that Brennan has joined Crystal Palace. He is an exciting young talent who has recently excelled in domestic, continental and international football.”
“We feel that Brennan is the perfect place to continue his already impressive journey and his arrival strengthens our attacking options as we compete on a number of fronts, including in Europe for the first time, in what is proving to be our busiest season to date.”
