After Moving To Crystal Palace, Who Might Take Brennan Johnson's Place At Tottenham?

Tottenham will look to replace Brennan Johnson’s output on the right and left half-spaces through a mix of internal options like Mohammed Kudus, Wilson Odobert, Xavi Simons and Dejan Kulusevski (when fit), while also actively targeting a new winger in the January market, with names such as Savinho and Maghnes Akliouche already heavily linked to the club’s shortlist. In other words, there is unlikely to be a single “like‑for‑like” replacement, but a rebalancing of Thomas Frank’s front line built around a new wide signing plus greater trust in the existing attacking core. A New Puzzle At Spurs After Brennan Johnson’s Exit Brennan Johnson’s move to Crystal Palace for a reported £35m has done more than just shake up the January headlines – it has forced Tottenham Hotspur into a moment of truth about what kind of attack they want to build under Thomas Frank.

Bayern Munich seeks to reintroduce the 'old' Joshua Kimmich.

According to Bild, Bayern Munich wants the 'old' Joshua Kimmich back.


Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, Kimmich was regarded as Bayern's midfield leader and one of the club's key players.

On and off the pitch, Der Rekordmeister saw the German international as a symbol of perfection.

However, when the 29-year-old originally refused to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, he was swiftly quarantined under Julian Nagelsmann.

Then, under Thomas Tuchel, Kimmich's role at the club was further reduced, with the former Bayern Munich head coach pushing the midfielder into an unfavorable right-back position.

Nonetheless, with big changes taking place at the Allianz Arena, returning the 29-year-old to his position as a leading midfielder is one of Max Eberl's top priorities.

It is reported that the German international has spoken with Bayern's head of sport, Vincent Kompany, and the club's sporting director, Christoph Freund, all of whom agree that they want Joshua Kimmich back.

The record champions believe João Palhinha is the ideal number six, allowing Kimmich to return to his position as number eight.

This would allow Kimmich to resume his role as midfield leader, with full support from those in control in Bavaria.  

Furthermore, while negotiations for a new contract have yet to begin, there is speculation that Kimmich might be named Bayern captain if he agrees to drop his salary demands and sign a new long-term contract at the Allianz Arena.
