This article is part of Football League World’s ‘The Verdict’ series, which provides personal opinions from the FLW writers regarding the latest breaking news, teams, players, managers, potential signings and more…
Johnson is currently on loan at League One side Lincoln, where he has enjoyed a hugely impressive season, scoring 12 goals in 43 appearances in all competitions to help the Imps mount a push for promotion to the Championship.
Now it seems as though those performances from the 19-year-old are starting to attract attention from elsewhere.
According to this latest update, Burnley have watched Johnson “keenly” across the course of the campaign so far, as they consider a potential move for the two-time Wales international.
Championship play-off contenders Brentford are also said to be taking an interest in the teenager, who is apparently valued at £10million by parent club Forest.
But would Johnson be a good signing for Burnley? And is he a player they need to bring to Turf Moor?
We put that question to some of our Football League World writers, and here, is a look at what they had to say.

I’m not sure this would be the right move for him.

I think it’s definitely worth a look.
