places intensifies under Thomas Frank.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/club-info\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> are looking to build a side capable of competing on multiple fronts under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/tag\/thomas-frank\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Thomas Frank<\/a>, and with over \u00a3150 million spent in the summer window, it is clear their plan is in full motion.<\/p>\n<p>Several of the new faces brought in have started to leave a mark on the side, which is exactly what every Tottenham fan and the manager would have hoped for.<\/p>\n<p>However, these recent additions have not entirely worked out for some of the older stars, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/tag\/brennan-johnson\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brennan Johnson<\/a> now seeing a reduced role under Frank.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

class=\"wp-image-354015\" \/>Credit: @thefrederikkejensen \/ InstagramBrennan Johnson is losing his place at Tottenham<\/p>\n<p>Johnson was Spurs\u2019 main man last term, as his famous toe poke against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/spurs-match-reports\/tottenham-hotspur-1-0-manchester-united-europa-league-glory-and-a-trophy-at-last\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Manchester United in the Europa League final<\/a> saw Tottenham end their 17-year trophyless run.<\/p>\n<p>The Welshman was not just a goalscoring threat in Europe but was relentless across competitions, racking up 25 goal involvements in over fifty games for Spurs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJohnson Ole Ole Ole\u201d continues to echo across the stadium, and rightfully so, given the significance of the Wales international\u2019s strike last season. <\/p>\n<p>Yet for a player who seemed nailed on under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/tag\/ange-postecoglou\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ange Postecoglou<\/a>, Brennan Johnson now looks to have fallen down the pecking order.<\/p>\n<p>Spurs have brought in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/tag\/mohammed-kudus\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mohammed Kudus<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/tag\/xavi-simons\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Xavi Simons<\/a>, and with Johnson doing most of his damage off the right last term, he has had to be pushed to the left, with Kudus now nailing down that right-wing spot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/spurs-news\/jermain-defoe-names-the-tottenham-star-he-thinks-is-becoming-the-main-man-in-n17\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kudus has been labelled the \u201cmain man\u201d for Tottenham by Jermain Defoe<\/a>, and with the Ghana international delivering top displays, it is difficult to see how Johnson reclaims the right flank.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/spurs-news\/who-is-thomas-frank-meet-tottenham-hotspur-new-head-coach\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Frank<\/a>, however, has offered Johnson the opportunity to audition off the left, but the Welshman has failed to impress, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/tag\/wilson-odobert\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wilson Odobert<\/a> featuring more in that role in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Why Spurs need to cash in on Brennan Johnson<\/p>\n<p>The competition for places will only increase when the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/tag\/james-maddison\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">James Maddison<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/tag\/dejan-kulusevski\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dejan Kulusevski<\/a> return, which could make it even harder for Johnson to get consistent minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson, of course, would want to play regularly, but with the way things stand at Tottenham, it seems unlikely that he will enjoy as many minutes as he did under Postecoglou last season.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, injuries could change that and give him more opportunities, but for a player who hit 25 goal contributions last season, he could already be considering his future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/spurs-news\/tottenham-fans-draw-up-12-man-transfer-wishlist-after-100-million-cash-injection\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Spurs fans continue to call for an upgrade on the left<\/a>, and should Tottenham land a top winger, that would only spell more danger for the Welshman.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spurs-web.com\/spurs-news\/tottenham-hotspur-top-ten-most-expensive-transfers-of-all-time\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tottenham paid \u00a347.5 million for Johnson in the summer of 2023<\/a>, making him their fifth most expensive signing, and it could now be the right time to cash in on the wide man.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson currently has a market value of around \u00a340 million on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.co.uk\/brennan-johnson\/profil\/spieler\/470607\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Transfermarkt<\/a>, and if Spurs could sell the winger for that and strengthen their wide options, it could prove an ideal situation for the North London club.<\/p>\n<p>       Have something to tell us about this article?
