Brentford are ready to bid big for Nottingham Forest midfielder Brennan Johnson.

The Sun says Brentford could go to £14million in their bid to land Nottingham Forest wideman Johnson.

However that might still not be enough to do a deal.

The Bees have been buzzing round Johnson, 20, for months.

His form has tempted the Prem new boys to reignite their interest and come up with a better offer.

Arsenal, Tottenham and newly-rich Newcastle have all been linked with the Wales international.

But Forest are keen to get promotion this season from the Championship.

They are happy to risk it even if it means Johnson running down his contract and entering the final year.

And sources close to the deal also reveal Johnson would rather wait to see if an even bigger team came in for him.
