Johnson will now get the chance to start afresh after falling out of favour under current Spurs boss Frank. Palace themselves have endured a blip, going winless in their last five games in all competitions, with their bluntness in attack one particular issue. The arrival of the 24-year-old winger should give them a boost ahead of tricky fixtures against Newcastle and Aston Villa, while they also offer European football in the form of the Conference League, where the Eagles currently reside in tenth place in the league phase table.
Johnson told Palace’s website: “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.”
Manager Oliver Glasner said: “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 held talks with Glasner prior to officially signing for the Croydon club to understand his role in the team. Justin Devenny and Yeremi Pino have been playing in the supporting roles behind main striker Jean-Philippe Mateta in recent weeks, with Ismaila Sarr currently on international duty with Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations.
