Transfer news live: Man City close on Semenyo, Brennan Johnson nears Palace switch, Man Utd battle for Leipzig winger

Crystal Palace have agreed a £35m deal to sign Tottenham winger Brennan Johnson, according to various reputable sources.

The Eagles had advanced in their efforts to land to Wales international in mid-December but opted not to make an offer until after the two sides faced each other on Sunday.

There is now an agreement for Johnson to move across London – however, BBC Sport says the player has not yet signed off on the move.

Johnson will now need to decide whether he wants to join Palace, with Bournemouth also circling amid a heightened expectation they will lose Antoine Semenyo this summer.

Although maybe not, according the Bournemouth manager.

Antoine Semenyo is reportedly keen to have his future sorted by 1 January, but Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola was emphatic the forward would still be with the club for their game against Arsenal on Saturday 3 January.

The 2-2 draw with Chelsea on Tuesday was “definitely not” his last game for the Cherries, Iraola said on BBC Match of the Day.

“He is a massive player for us and he will still be with us” for the Arsenal game.

“It is not the last game he has played for us, definitely not.”

Semenyo has a £65m release clause in his contract with the Cherries but there are still issues to discuss as Pep Guardiola tries to make him his first buy of 2026.

It could all be done over the next few days…
