Virals: West Ham 'keeping tabs' on EFL starlet Brennan Johnson
West Ham are reportedly ‘keeping tabs’ on Nottingham Forest sensational Brennan Johnson.
The 20-year-old has been a revelation this season in the Championship and the forward has also earned senior international recognition.
Brentford, Leeds United and Crystal Palace have been linked previously but the Hammers are now believed to be keen on a summer swoop.
That’s according to ExWHUemployee on the West Ham Way Podcast, as cited by NFFC TrentEnd on Twitter.

Ex claimed: “Players that we are keeping tabs on are potential summer offers. One of them is Brennan Johnson. He plays for Nottingham Forest. I think he’s a winger, very highly rated and very impressive.”
This season Johnson has scored 10 times and provided five assists in 33 appearances across all competitions.
Valued at £900,000 and under contract at the City Ground until 2023 (Transfermarkt), this summer would appear to be a crucial one for the Welshman.
Already capped seven times at the senior level, Johnson has been leaving a lasting impression in a fledgling career so far.
Supremely versatile and with an eye for goal, David Moyes should be desperate to add the talented youngster to the London Stadium ranks.
