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 won 6-1 away to Holstein Kiel on Saturday.
Bayern took the lead after 14 seconds as Jamal Musiala shot the ball into the net. Only six passes were made during the game, indicating that Holstein Kiel may have a long night.

Kane scored a brace right before halftime with a strike from outside the area, and the game was effectively over. He has now scored more than 50 goals in 35 Bundesliga appearances, shattering Erling Haaland's previous mark.
The hosts remarkably limited the attack in the second half, which might be attributed in large part to Musiala's removal. Bayern eventually added a fifth goal, with substitute Michel Olise scoring his first for the club off the bench.
Holstein Kiel, on the other hand, brought back memories of that legendary DFB Pokal upset by shattering Bayern's clean sheet ambitions. Armin Gigović scored a powerful header past Manuel Neuer, while another chance missed the crossbar.
50 - Harry Kane was directly involved in 50 Bundesliga goals in 35 games; no other player has reached that milestone as quickly since data gathering (2004-05) (Erling Haaland earlier in 44 games). HurryKane.
A late penalty from VAR allowed Kane to complete his first hat-trick of the season and send Bayern to the top spot after RB Leipzig drew earlier in the day. Holstein Kiel, meanwhile, is at the bottom of the standings.
