Brennan Johnson will not "get carried away" by his progress at Nottingham Forest, according to former Reds striker Nigel Jemson.
The 20-year-old forward was linked with a number of clubs, including Premier League sides Brentford and Leicester, but stayed put at Forest after the summer transfer window slammed shut.
Johnson has continued to work hard when sporting a Forest shirt and has further cemented his place as part of Robert Page's Wales squad during World Cup qualification.
Jemson, who says he knows the Johnson family well, has reassured fans that the youngster's career will be in safe hands, with the advice and support of his father, another former Reds striker David.
“I know Brennan very well," Jemson told This Is Futbol. "I’ve coached him at the academy, I’ve known him since the age of probably about 12.
"I always said that he’s one that was going to stand out and I’ve been proved right on that. He did get a bit of a knee injury when he was a bit younger but came through that with flying colours.
“I know his parents very well, you know, David Johnson will know how to treat Brennan.
"Brennan himself is a family man and he’s not that sort of person to get carried away. He’s knuckled down and I’m sure he’s enjoying his football now.
"He’s playing for Forest on a regular basis and he’s obviously in the Wales set-up now, so things are going really well for him.”
