Brennan Johnson taking Gareth Bale mantle as 'valuable' Nottingham Forest prediction made

Nottingham Forest attacker Brennan Johnson will take on Gareth Bale's role for Wales after the Fifa Men's World Cup as the national team prepares for a "changing of the guard".

The 21-year-old did not start for the Dragons in their three group games as they crashed out of the tournament in Qatar with just one point. He came off the bench in each match, totalling 91 minutes of action.

Johnson will now return to domestic football with the Reds, with whom he has been nominated for the Fans' Footballer of the Year award along with three of his clubmates. NottinghamshireLive's Matt Davies picked the final shortlist, which was scrutinised by Michael Temple on the Garibaldi Red podcast.
