Premier League giants Aston Villa are said to be exploring a move for Brennan Johnson.
The Nottingham Forest youngster had an outstanding first campaign in the top flight last term.
While he is seen as a vital piece of Steve Cooper's side, the 22-year-old is not untouchable.
Per The Mail, if the right offer arrives, Forest may choose to cash in on Johnson.
The source adds that both Villa and Brentford are seriously interested in his signature.
Villa boss Unai Emery may see Johnson as the ideal attacking midfielder for his counter attacking team.
