Brentford appears to be eyeing 22-year-old Nottingham Forest striker who might be consider selling this summer

Johnson featured in all 38 Premier League games last season for Forest, scoring eight goals and assisting another three. The youngster impressed throughout his debut season in the top flight, solidifying interest from elsewhere.

Such form has put the ball firmly in Forest’s court, and firms up their £50million valuation of the forward. It remains to be seen whether any clubs will be willing to stump up that fee during the current transfer window.

There is also said to be interest in Johnson from clubs in Spain, though a £50m price tag would make a move to La Liga highly unlikely. Johnson has previously been linked to other Premier League clubs, but Brentford’s interest has been most serious.

According to the Daily Mail, Brentford are ‘confident’ in signing Johnson, while Forest’may be willing’ to sell their academy graduate. However, an offer ‘in the region of £50m’ would be required for the Reds to contemplate selling.
