Rob Page says Brennan Johnson is snapping at the heels of Gareth Bale for a place in his Wales plans following the 20-year-old's meteoric rise at Nottingham Forest.
The Wales head coach, who this week named his 26-man squad for the upcoming World Cup play-off semi-final against Austria, is one of many admirers of the attacking midfielder, having watched him surge through the age groups in recent years.
Johnson has netted 12 goals and clocked up five assists for Steve Cooper's side this season, and his form has seen him heavily tipped for a move to the Premier League.
