Crystal Palace are pushing to get a deal done early for Tottenham forward Brennan Johnson.
Palace are discussing an offer of around £35million for the Wales international who is understood to be frustrated at his lack of starting opportunities under Thomas Frank this season but is in no particular rush to leave.
Frank declared last week that Johnson was still important to his squad and plans going forward but Tottenham are looking for other attacking options and may consider substantial offers to offset their spending elsewhere.
Bournemouth have also shown tentative interest in Johnson but have also discussed Leicester City’s Abdul Fatawu as they seek replacements for Antoine Semenyo.
The 24-year-old is also admired by the likes of Everton and Aston Villa but those clubs may not be ready to move until the summer.
Palace are looking to strengthen Oliver Glasner’s hand as the coach looks to kick on after a disappointing dip in results, but the Austrian is increasingly unlikely to commit to extending his time at Selhurst Park come the end of the season.

They are also willing to rival West Ham for Jorgen Strand Larsen at Wolves and have posted interest in Manchester City’s Oscar Bobb who also has Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham and Fulham among his admirers.
Palace also like Auxerre midfielder Kevin Danois who has been watched by Newcastle United.
Defender Marc Guehi is expected to see out the season with Liverpool still favourites to secure his signature in the summer.
