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.
