Everton and West Ham could be braced to battle it out in the boardroom in an attempt to beat each other in the race to land Nottingham Forest winger Brennan Johnson in the upcoming transfer window.
Johnson is valued at £40million by Forest after his efforts helped keep Steve Cooper's side in the Premier League.
Everton are keen to reinforce their squad during Sean Dyche's first summer in charge and have identified Johnson as a potential new addition.
Meanwhile, West Ham want to lure the 22-year-old English talent to the London Stadium in the off-season following an impressive campaign.
