Brentford are confident they can prise Brennan Johnson away from Nottingham Forest despite seeing £30m bid rejected -but Reds will only consider selling the forward if they are offered £50m

Brentford are among the clubs who believe Brennan Johnson can be prised from Nottingham Forest this summer despite having a £30million enquiry knocked back.

Forest’s homegrown winger was one of the stars of their Premier League survival last term but ended the season on the bench and Mail Sport understands the club may be willing to cash in on the 22-year-old, who also has admirers at Aston Villa.

Yet even to consider selling Johnson, it is thought Forest would have to be presented with an offer in the region of £50m.
