Sources indicate that Sunderland expressed interest in Brennan Johnson this month. Johnson had a preference for a transfer within London.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Sunderland and Everton have both inquired about Brennan Johnson in the last 24 hours. Johnson is a 24-year-old winger from Wales who is expected to leave Tottenham in the January transfer window. The player is now required to make a decision about his future. Tottenham has an agreement in principle with Crystal Palace for a £33.5 million transfer fee, and Bournemouth are also reportedly prepared to pay this amount. Johnson, who has 42 caps and 7 goals for Wales, moved to Tottenham from Nottingham Forest in September 2023 for a reported fee of €55 million. His current contract is valid until 2028. In the current season, he has made 15 Premier League appearances and scored 2 goals.
