Brennan Johnson, a Nottingham Forest winger, is being pursued by Aston Villa.
Last season, the 22-year-old had a strong season in the Premier League, scoring 10 goals and providing three assists in all competitions.
Nottingham Forest reportedly value the player at over £50 million, although they may be open to a transfer if a bid of around £40 million is tabled.
According to the Daily Mail, Nottingham Forest are under financial strain as a result of Financial Fair Play restrictions, and it remains to be seen whether Aston Villa can take advantage of their predicament and sign Johnson.
The 22-year-old can play as both a center attacking midfielder and a right-sided winger. Unai will benefit from his speed, flair, and goals.

Aston Villa have become unduly reliant on Ollie Watkins for goals, and they need to sign another reliable striker this summer.
Johnson has the ability to develop into a top-tier Premier League attacker, and a transfer to Aston Villa would be a significant step forward in his career.
The West Midlands club will compete in Europe next season, and the opportunity to join them could be difficult to pass up.
In addition to that, they have a top-class manager like Unai Emery in charge and Johnson will be tempted to work under a proven manager like him.
The Spanish manager could play a key role in the 22-year-old’s development and he could help him fulfil his tremendous potential.
