Statistics have confirmed the Reds now boast the fastest forward in the Premier League.

It won’t surprise Forest fans one iota that Brennan Johnson has recorded the fastest speed in the Premier League this season.

Topping the charts with a lightening-like 36.70kmh, Johnson sits above the likes of Kyle Walker, Marcus Rashford and Mykhailo Mudryk.

This means that Forest fans can say with confidence that their academy star is quicker than a Gentoo Penguin - the fastest penguin in Earth’s oceans.

Johnson has been instrumental in keeping Forest’s head above the relegation zone this season, and although their form has not impressed recently, it may just hold the key to The Red’s Premier League survival.

Forest have had their fair share of successful academy graduates, but none come close to having such frightening pace.

Premier League’s fastest forwards (kmh)

1. Brennan Johnson - 36.70

2. Anthony Gordon - 36.61

3. Darwin Nunez - 36.53

4. Erling Haaland - 36.22

5. Gabriel Martinelli - 35.85

6. Marcus Rashford - 35.81

7. Allan Saint-Maximin - 35.73

8. Alex Iwobi - 35.72

9. Adama Traore - 35.56

10. Luis Diaz - 35.52

Beyond this, Johnson’s eight goals and two assists make up a sizeable chunk of Forest’s success this season, and the homegrown talent is constantly improving and proving himself to be the top class talent Steve Cooper has always said he would be.

With Cooper opting for a more prudent tactical approach to the back-three system which saw them achieve a miraculous promotion from the Championship last season, Johnson’s pace gives Forest an extra edge on the counter attack.

With 10 games remaining in this Premier League season, which offers the tightest relegation battle in PL history, the speedy and skilful baby-faced assassin might well be Forest’s hero come the end of the season.
