Brennan Johnson is in Tottenham's folklore for ending their 17-year trophy drought but a £35m move to Crystal Palace makes sense for him and Thomas Frank, writes MATT BARLOW

Brennan Johnson's place in Tottenham folklore is secure. It will always be his goal, untidy though it may have been, scrambled inside the near post with a scrape of his studs, that won the Europa League in Bilbao.

He will always be 'Johnson again, ole, ole' to the Spurs fans on account of that strike in the San Mames, his 18th in a prolific season and one to silence some of the sniggering at the back of the room.

It was Johnson who brought the 17-year major trophy drought to a close in N17 by toppling Manchester United in May in the Spanish Basque region and end a long wait of four decades without European success.
