Tottenham news

Premier League clubs face unusual kick-off times this weekend, as the New Year's schedule continues apace. Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea are all in action on Sunday, with 3pm kick-offs being aired live on television. GOAL can explain why the kick-off times are out of the ordinary as the year of 2026 gets underway.

Tottenham winger Brennan Johnson has completed his £35m transfer to Crystal Palace, barely half a year after scoring the winning goal in the Europa League final. The Wales international was a key part of Ange Postecoglou's team but has fallen out of favour under new manager Thomas Frank. Johnson now gets the opportunity to revive his career at Selhurst Park, with the Eagles currently ahead of Spurs in the Premier League table in tenth position.

Tottenham fans continue to vent their anger in the direction of head coach Thomas Frank, with disgruntled supporters chanting “we want our money back” during a “boring” goalless draw with Brentford. Frank took a point off his former employers, when returning to familiar surroundings, but is facing plenty of uncomfortable questions regarding his tenure in north London.

Premier League clubs splashed out £3 billion ($4bn) on transfers in a record-breaking summer window, more than those in the Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A combined, with Liverpool accounting for £415m ($561m) of that eye-watering amount on the back of their 2024-25 title success under Arne Slot. Mega-money was also spent by the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, with Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Fulham the only three clubs to invest less than £50m ($67m) in strengthening their respective squads.

Tottenham Hotspur winger Brennan Johnson is undergoing a medical at Crystal Palace as his £33.5 million ($45m) transfer edges closer. Johnson has failed to nail down a starting place at Spurs this season under new head coach Thomas Frank and he is set to leave the club after two-and-a-half seasons in north London.

Roma reportedly have two Premier League defenders on their recruitment radar for the January transfer window, with raids on Chelsea and Tottenham being planned. The Serie A giants are eager to reinforce at the back and believe that Axel Disasi and Radu Dragusin, who have been enduring tough times in London, could be shrewd additions at Stadio Olimpico.

The January transfer window is notoriously tricky for buying clubs to manoeuvre in. Sure, willing teams may have the money to spend and financial wiggle room to squeeze some deals in, but their rivals may be less inclined to do business midway through the season with trophies and other honours still up for grabs.

Crystal Palace are confident that Brennan Johnson will join the club in a £35 million deal ahead of the weekend, with the winger set to undergo a medical within the next 24 hours. The Eagles are closing in on the signature of the former Nottingham Forest winger, who scored the goal that won Spurs the Europa League last season.

Tottenham are eyeing an ambitious move for €100 million-rated Bundesliga winger Yan Diomande as fan favourite Brennan Johnson is set to exit the club in the January transfer window. Johnson, who scored Spurs' historic winning goal against Manchester United in the Europa League final last season, has fallen out of favour under Thomas Frank and is now likely to leave the north London outfit.

Crystal Palace have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Brennan Johnson from Tottenham Hotspur in a deal worth £35 million ($40m) ahead of the January transfer window. The winger, who scored Spurs' winning goal in the Europa League final last season, has yet to decide on his future, and the Eagles face competition from other Premier League suitors.

New Year's Eve is almost upon us, meaning 2025 is about to be consigned to the past - but how will it be remembered by the football world? It was certainly an unforgettable year for some players, coaches and clubs. Paris Saint-Germain, for example, finally got their hands on the trophy they craved above all others, the Champions League, thus vindicating a sensible change in recruitment strategy by the club's owners, who went from signing superstars to investing millions in youth.

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has been told to resign by a former Spurs player in an explosive social media rant. The Danish coach has found himself under pressure in his first season at Spurs, with the club currently on a worrying run of form which has conjured just two top-flight victories in their last nine fixtures. Following their win over Crystal Palace on Sunday, Spurs will now end 2025 in 11th.

There’s a Battle of London ahead, and we have three Crystal Palace vs Tottenham predictions for their Premier League clash on Sunday, 28 December.
