Nottingham Forest star hailed as the 'hottest prospect in the EFL' amid transfer interest

Former Nottingham Forest striker Glenn Murray says he is "surprised" more clubs didn't make a move for Brennan Johnson in the January transfer window.

The 20-year-old continued his excellent form this past week by following up his goal in the FA Cup win over Leicester City on Sunday with a successful penalty attempt to seal an important 2-0 win over promotion rivals Blackburn Rovers in the Championship in midweek.

With nine goals in all competitions as a winger, Johnson has attracted interest from a number of clubs, including Burnley, Leeds United, Leicester City, Everton, Newcastle United, Crystal Palace, Southampton and Brighton.
