Brennan Johnson’s former manager Michael Appleton would be ‘amazed’ if Nottingham Forest don’t have to fight off more Premier League interest in the winger this summer.
The academy graduate has impressed in his breakthrough season at the City Ground this campaign, including starring in the club’s run to the FA Cup quarter-final. The 20-year-old has 17 goal contributions in 40 appearances in all competitions this season.
His breakthrough comes after spending last season on loan with League One side Lincoln City, helping them to the play-off final. After just six months back with Forest, the Reds had to fight off interest from Premier League side Brentford during the January transfer window.
