Tottenham Hotspur have wasted no time in lining up a replacement after parting ways with Brennan Johnson — and the north London club are reportedly targeting an “extraordinary” Premier League talent who could revamp their attack this January.
Johnson’s exit to Crystal Palace for a club-record fee of around £35 million was confirmed early in the January transfer window, bringing to an end his time at Spurs despite being the club’s top scorer last season and scoring the decisive goal in their Europa League triumph.
With the 24-year-old now on his way south, Tottenham are said to have made contact with Manchester City over Oscar Bobb, signalling a shift in focus away from earlier links to Savinho and other targets.
Bobb, a rising star at the Etihad Stadium, has impressed with his technical ability and attacking flair — attributes Tottenham believe could bring a new dimension to their flanks. Reports suggest Spurs see him as a potential direct replacement for Johnson’s pace and creativity, describing the City winger as an “extraordinary” prospect worth pursuing this month.
While interest in Savinho has persisted, recent coverage indicates Tottenham’s pursuit of Bobb is gaining serious traction as they seek a January boost to their struggling Premier League campaign.
The transfer window remains wide open, and Spurs supporters will be watching closely — with hopes that the club’s ambitious recruitment drive yields the attacking spark needed to climb up the table.
