'Born and bred' - Everton told why Nottingham Forest star will snub transfer

Former Nottingham Forest striker Kevin Campbell believes Brennan Johnson will 'want a season in the Premier League' with the Reds before considering a move away.

Following Forest 's promotion to the Premier League, the 21-year-old said he "can't wait to play" for the Reds next season. Johnson was linked with a host of top-flight clubs throughout last season after enjoying a breakthrough season for Forest.

The Wales international scored 19 goals and assisted another 10 in his maiden campaign in the Championship. Despite believing there are 'five or six suitors' for the player, Campbell thinks they will be made to wait by Johnson.

"Look, money talks in this game,” Campbell told Goodison News. "The fact that Brennan Johnson’s come up with Forest, if Everton want him, is he going to be playing? I think there’s five or six suitors for the young man, a very good player.

"The key to all this is his feeling for Forest. He’s come through the ranks at Forest. He’s just got promotion with Forest. He might want a season in the Premier League with Forest.

"I don’t want to speak for the young man, but I just think he’s that type of lad that he’ll want a season in the Premier League with Nottingham Forest because he’s Forest born and bred."
