Brennan Johnson is scheduled to be included Crystal Palaceteam to face Newcastle on Sunday after completing a club record £35m transfer Tottenham.
Palace are expected to announce the signing of the Wales striker within the next 24 hours after Johnson completed his transfer via London on Friday.
The 24-year-old has attracted interest from Bournemouth, with the Cherries keen to sign a replacement for Manchester City target Antoine Semenyu.
But after talks with Palace boss Oliver Glasner on Thursday, Johnson has been persuaded to move to Selhurst Park.
Johnson’s arrival will break the club’s record transfer fee, surpassing the £27m the Eagles paid for Liverpool striker Christian Benteke in 2016.
The striker joined Tottenham in a £47.5m deal from Nottingham Forest in 2023 and scored the winning goal as the club ended their 17-year wait for silverware by winning the Europa League last season.
But Johnson’s minutes have been limited under Tottenham manager Thomas Frank this season, with the Wales international scoring four goals in 22 appearances.
