West Ham have once again been named among the clubs ‘chasing’ a deal for Nottingham Forest starlet Brennan Johnson.
The 20-year-old is hot property following an impressive breakthrough 18 months for both club and country.
Premier League sides such as Everton, Newcastle United and Brentford are all believed to be desperate to land the exciting youngster.
That’s according to a report from the Daily Mail, as cited by Everton Talks Nsno on Twitter, claiming that the Irons are also in the mix.
Everton, Newcastle, Brentford and West Ham are all among the teams ‘keeping an eye’ on Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest. £14million could be enough.

The report claims that the Hammers are ‘keeping an eye’ on the seven-cap Wales international.
So far this season Johnson – described as a ‘livewire‘ by Wales Online – has scored five and provided four assists in 25 Championship appearances.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Valued at £900,000 and under contract at the City Ground until 2023 (Transfermarkt), Forest are already demanding bids of £14million for the youngster.
Boasting exceptional versatility and on the back of a 24 goal contribution campaign in League One last season, there can be little doubting Johnson’s potential.
However, without top-level exposure and in the final 18 months of a deal, West Ham would surely be reticent to spend big on the Welshman at this stage.
