Nottingham Forest youngster Brennan Johnson has caught the eye of Everton scouts.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Nottingham Forest have no interest in letting Brennan Johnson join Everton.
The Toffees have reportedly identified Johnson as a potential transfer target, as they have been impressed by the youngster’s potential.
The 15-year-old has been in fine form for Forest’s academy teams this season, and is regarded very highly at the City Ground.
If Johnson does want to leave Forest, the transfer is now expected to be left to go to a tribunal.
According to the Mail, new Forest boss Mark Warburton is determined to utilise the club’s academy.
Warburton is keen to see the Reds’ youngsters continued to be used in the first-team, and he does not want to lose any of his top prospects.
Forest’s academy system has proven very productive in recent times, with the likes of Oliver Burke, Matty Cash, Ben Osborn and Ben Brereton all coming through the ranks to become first-team players.
Brereton has also attracted the attention of Premier League clubs, but Forest are ready to reject all approaches for the striker.
