Newcastle, Leeds and Crystal Palace all look set to be foiled in their bids to land starlet Brennan Johnson - with Nottingham Forest upping their efforts to pin him down to a new deal.
Wales international Johnson’s career is being watched over by David Beckham - a former teammate of the Forest youngster’s father David, at Manchester United.
Beckham has taken a major interest in the young Wales international, and has sent him several supportive messages in Instagram - when he scored his first goal, while on loan at Lincoln and after his performance in Forest’s FA Cup win over Arsenal.
