Newcastle United could come up against Brennan Johnson this weekend as he is expected complete a move to Crystal Palace in time to feature, according to journalist Sami Mokbel.

Tottenham Hotspur accepted a bid in the region of £35m from Crystal Palace for the Wales international, who eventually decided he wanted the move to Selhurst Park.

With Johnson heading out of the door, one Tottenham cult hero suggested the 24-year-old was not the kind of player who could score prolifically for Spurs.
