Johnson possesses raw speed, exciting dribbling, and has built up a healthy relationship with scoring. If he can transfer his goal tally to Leicester, it would be a huge boost for the side as they have often missed that Harvey Barnes-esque goal threat on the right-flank.

Having already played 9 games for Wales, as well as playing against Arsenal, Leicester, and Liverpool, Johnson has shown that he can perform at the highest level; a move to the Premier League is inevitable. Currently contracted to Forrest until 2023, and showing no signs of renewing that deal, Johnson will be on a lot of Premier League club’s radar’s.

His name has been linked to Newcastle, Leeds and Crystal Palace, and Brentford had an £18m offer rejected by Forrest in January. This, perhaps, means that a similar fee – if not more – will be required to sign Johnson in the summer. Leicester City will be hoping to be the first in that queue.

Ultimately, if the Foxes can secure the signature of either of these two talented youngsters, it will add a new dimension to their squad and to their attacking play. This is set to be a very exciting summer indeed. (Words by Will Kennedy)
