Nothing to get too excited by, but it may be of interest to some.....
From The Athletic:
Brennan Johnson, the 19-year-old Nottingham Forest midfielder, is attracting interest from the Premier League and beyond on the back of his loan spell at Lincoln City, reports Paul Taylor.
Burnley and promotion-chasing Championship side Brentford are both keen, and Leeds United are understood to have watched Johnson during his impressive run of seven goals in 23 appearances for the League One side. Belgium’s Royale Union Saint-Gilloise are also pondering a bid, with the club — owned by Brighton chief Tony Bloom — on course for promotion to the top flight.
Already a full Wales international, Johnson remains a highly-regarded prospect at the City Ground but the belief is that his development is best served by playing regular football with Lincoln one division down from his parent club in the third tier, so he is unlikely to be recalled this month. Forest are reluctant to sell unless somebody tables a significant bid that is too good to turn down, while they would be unlikely to sell to another Championship club.
