And, he appears to have impressed one famous Forest fan, as cricketer Stuart Broad asked on Twitter whether the 21-year-old’s move can be turned into a permanent one.

“Please tell me we have a fixed buy clause from the loan deal? The City Ground love him! Whoever scouted Djed for us this year is a hero. The combo of him & young Johnson down the right has given us fans so much enjoyment.”
