Johnson’s immediate future is clearly up in the air.
Forest have placed that huge transfer fee on his head after a very good individual campaign last year as he helped lead the club away from the drop on their Premier League return.
He bagged eight goals and three assists, playing in every game for Steve Cooper’s side.
The 22-year-old also bagged a couple of goals in Wales’ six Nations League games in 2022 – including against Belgium – to further show he can compete at a top level.
Nottingham Forest have already dismissed a £35million bid from Brentford this window, with the player reportedly preferring a Spurs move than any of the London rivals.

That will be music to Ange Postecoglou’s ears, with Johnson one of the Aussie’s top targets as he continues trying to cover the massive hole left by Harry Kane.
It’s believed Spurs are ready to open the bidding to land him this summer.
And the bookies reckon big Ange will get his man too and make Spurs an odds-on price at 8/11 to get that signature done.
He’s a bigger price of 15/8 to remain at the City Ground.
Chelsea are the only other club at a single figure price at 6/1, with West Ham next at 16s.
Aston Villa (20/1), the aforementioned Brentford (25/1) and Manchester City (33/1) round off the betting.
