Transfer News: Crystal Palace Targets Tottenham's Johnson, Chelsea Pursues AZ Alkmaar's Smit

Crystal Palace is eyeing Tottenham winger Brennan Johnson, while Chelsea leads the pursuit for AZ Alkmaar's teenage midfielder Kees Smit. Additionally, AC Milan is interested in Niklas Fullkrug.

Tottenham's Brennan Johnson is on Crystal Palace's list of potential signings for January, as the Eagles seek to bolster their squad in hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. The 24-year-old Wales international is a key target for the club.

In another development, Tottenham is willing to break their wage structure to sign 25-year-old Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth, amid competition from Manchester City and Liverpool.

Chelsea has emerged as the frontrunner in the race for 19-year-old midfielder Kees Smit from AZ Alkmaar, who is also attracting interest from Newcastle, Manchester United, and Tottenham.

Newcastle's interest in Toulouse's 19-year-old French defender Dayann Methalie could signal the end for 33-year-old Swiss defender Fabian Schar, whose contract expires next summer.

AC Milan is considering West Ham striker Niclas Fullkrug as a potential target for the January transfer window, with the 32-year-old Germany international seeking to leave the London Stadium.

Crystal Palace is also keen on Bayern Munich's 25-year-old right-back Sacha Boey, who is expected to depart the Bundesliga club in January.

Interest in 26-year-old Andrea Pinamonti, a striker for Sassuolo, is heating up, with West Ham, Lazio, and AC Milan all vying for his signature.

Everton midfielder James Garner is reportedly admired by Nottingham Forest, although a January transfer for the 24-year-old Englishman seems unlikely given his regular starting role for the Toffees.

Finally, Chelsea and Manchester United are intensifying their efforts to sign 20-year-old Noah Sadiki from Sunderland following his impressive start in English football.
