Another who has drawn high praise is 20-year-old Johnson, who has scored 12 goals and laid on five assists in 40 games across all competitions.

And then he can reassess his future in the summer, when he will have a considerable amount of time to make the right choice. At the City Ground, he has become a fans’ favourite and has the chance to get to the Premier League with his current side, so he may have regretted not being on this journey in the East Midlands if he had moved on.
