Ornstein goes on to write how Forest are unlikely to sell Johnson, unless a suitor were to table a ‘significant bid’ for Johnson that is ‘too good to turn down’, with the option of selling Johnson to another Championship club seeming unlikely.

Lincoln City are flying high in League One this season. They currently sit in 1st-place of the table and could yet be joining the likes of Forest and Brentford in the Championship this season, with five of Johnson’s goals coming in League One fixtures.
