Nottingham Forest expecting Prem offers in January for Worrall | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest are expecting offers in January for Joe Worrall.

The Mirror says the centre-back, 24, was targeted by promoted Brentford in the summer before they opted for Kristoffer Ajer from Celtic in a cut-price deal as the Norwegian's contract was expiring.

But Worrall has not let the aborted move affect his form and has totalled 16 appearances already this term.

The 6ft 4in ace has been outstanding in the last two games as Forest have kept successive clean sheets.

Burnley are long-term admirers and could follow up their interest should James Tarkowski leave as the defender is out of contract next summer.

Tarkowski, 29, who has two England caps, has previously been the subject of bids from both Leicester and West Ham who are both in Europe this season.

Everton and Newcastle are also monitoring highly-rated centre-back Worrall who could be available for around £10million.
