Nottingham Forest forward Brennan Johnson is set to sign a new long-term deal at the City Ground, as the newly-promoted outfit prepares for their first Premier League campaign since 1998-199.

The 21-year-old bagged 19 goals and nine assists in all competitions during Forest's Championship playoff-winning campaign last season.

With only one year left on his current deal, Johnson was reportedly riveting the gaze of several top flight suitors ahead of the summer transfer window, including Premier League survivors Leeds, Brentford and Everton.
