Report: Leeds battling PL rivals for ‘exciting’ £10m gem, club could cash in
Leeds United are rivalling Leicester City to sign winওger Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest this summer, a♒ccording to .
Play-off winners Brentford and Championship side Barnsley are also keen to add the 20-year-💖old to their ranks. The forward enjoyed a strong run in League One while on loan at Lincoln City last term and now seems ready for a 𝐆step up.
Johnson struck in all competitions and helped the Imps to reach the play-off final. But his assist at Wembley was not enough to beat Blackpool, w💜ho came from behind to secure their second-tier return.
Johnson has made for Nottingham Forest since his debut in August 2019. But the Wales international failed to offer any goal involvements befoꦛre joining Lincoln on loan.
He now r💟eturns to the City Ground for pre-season but may find he leaves again in the summer transfer window. Forest consider Johnson, Joe Worrall and Alex Mighten – three homegrown plaওyers – to be their most saleable assets.
Forest are considering cashing in on Johnson and his potential despite knowing the creativity he could offer. And Leeds, Leicester, Bre🐷ntford and Barnsley have all shown varying d꧙egrees of interest in the 5 ft 10 playmaker.
Brentford are one of three Premier League clubs who watc🌌hed Johnson closely last season. But they face a asking price, with the forward under contract 📖for another two years.
TBR’s view: Leeds should edge race for Forest gem Johnson
Victor Orta should strive to see Leeds edge Leicester, Brentford and Barnsley in the race to sign Forest gem Johnson. A £10m fee may be a lot for a 20-year-old who is yet to play in the Premier 🧸League, but it is also a sign of his poꦿtential.
Johnson 🏅showed he has bags of potential during his loan spell at Lincoln last season. He was named the Imps’ , while Forest boss Chris Hughton is aware of .
Johnson scored and assisted freely in the third-tier to suggest he is now ready to step up and make an impact in the Championship. Doing so would only add more value to🐬 his asking price, so buying now may be Leeds’ best option.
