Brentford manager Thomas Frank has heaped praise on Nottingham Forest's rising star Brennan Johnson, amid growing speculation over the Welsh international's future.
The 22-year-old forward has been turning heads with his performances for Forest, attracting interest from several Premier League sides including Brentford themselves.
Frank's Admiration for Johnson
"He's a fantastic player with enormous potential," Frank told reporters when asked about Johnson. "The way he reads the game and his technical ability make him a real threat in the final third."
The Brentford boss stopped short of confirming any concrete interest but acknowledged Johnson's qualities would suit many top-flight clubs.
Forest's Stance on Their Star Player
Nottingham Forest are understood to be keen on retaining their academy graduate, who played a pivotal role in their promotion to the Premier League last season.
However, with Forest battling relegation, Johnson's future may depend on whether the club can secure their top-flight status for another season.
Premier League Competition Heats Up
Several other Premier League sides are reportedly monitoring Johnson's situation, with his versatility to play across the front line making him an attractive prospect.
Frank's comments have only added fuel to the transfer rumours as the January window approaches, with Brentford potentially looking to strengthen their attacking options.
The Bees have built a reputation for identifying and developing young talent, making Johnson a potentially perfect fit for their system.
