Leicester City told to repeat Nottingham Forest raid as transfer talks 'expected'

Leicester City supporters are on board with suggestions that the club are 'expected' to engage in transfer talks with Nottingham Forest regarding forward Brennan Johnson.

The Foxes have not signed a player from their East Midlands rivals in over a decade. Back then in January 2012, Wes Morgan swapped the City Ground to play for City after a fee of around £1 million was agreed.

It would cost considerably more to prise the Reds' academy graduate away from them this time, but supporters are on board with such a move. Here is a selection of the reaction from our Leicester Facebook page to the reported interest in Johnson.

Be nice, but can’t see it myself. Will stay at Forest if they go up in the play-offs, hope not. Can see a top four team coming in for him if they don’t.

Be a good signing but can't see it happening. If forest get promoted he will stay there and see how they do before deciding on the future

Definitely sign him

Good player - be a good signing.

Was very good at Lincoln last season

I do like him.

Sign him up, he’s got plenty to offer City like Big Wes did.
