Johnson is currently on loan at Championship outfit Crewe Alexandra from Premiership side Manchester United, and has played thirteen games for Crewe so far this season.
The striker has scored four goals so far, one coming against the Tigers in the 2-2 Boxing day draw.
Whether this is just media speculation or not is waiting to be seen, but Radio Humberside released the story as breaking news in a recent aired report.
The deal may act as a diversion to try and make Falkirk decide on the future of their striker Darly Duffy. If City are being seen to have other options available, then Falkirk may speed up their decision to sell or keep Duffy.
A announcement is expected to be made later on today, but an official announcement regarding transfers is expected to be made by next Wednesday.
We will be hoping that this announcement is we have signed players rather than a deadline that has been set by taylor for when we give up on these players. That would mean we would have already wasted half of the January transfer window, so lets hope all goes well.
