Nottingham Forest have been told they will struggle to hang on to Brennan Johnson this summer – regardless of whether they win their relegation battle.
The homegrown forward has been one of the Reds’ standout performers in their first season back in the Premier League with nine goals in all competitions. He was also part of the Wales squad at the World Cup in Qatar and is likely to become a key player for his country in the wake of Gareth Bale’s retirement from the game.
His progress, from playing in League One with Lincoln on loan two years ago, to helping Forest win the Championship play-offs and now starring in the Premier League has naturally attracted attention and there is likely to be interest in the 21-year-old this summer.
