Brentford ‘set to swoop’ for Nottingham Forest’s Joe Worrall

Brentford have joined Burnley in the race to sign Nottingham Forest’s Joe Worrall, reports The Sun on Sunday (27.06.21, pg. 61).

Worrall, 24, has been linked with a Premier League move throughout the past 12 months.

Burnley are long-term admirers of the Englishman who’s also been closely linked with West Ham in recent months but now, Championship play-off winners Brentford are said to be readying a move for the defender.

Previous reports have valued Worrall at upwards of £10million and Alan Nixon writes in his reports in The Sun on Sunday that Worrall ‘can leave at the right price’, going on to mention how Burnley are keen but unwilling to enter into an ‘auction’.

Thomas Frank’s side missed out on a top-two spot and subjected themselves to yet another play-off bout, reaching the final at Wembley for a second season-in-a-row.

They beat Swansea City in the final to secure their spot in next season’s Premier League whilst Forest finished in a miserable 17th-place of the Championship.

For Forest, losing Worrall would be an undoubted blow and as his exit seems to be nearing, the club will want it done swiftly so that they can reinvest the money into a potential replacement.

Hughton’s side proved fairly resolute last season having conceded just 45 goals in their 46 Championship outings, with Worrall featuring 31 times in the league across the season.

He’s proved to be a quality Championship player in four seasons at the City Ground and for Brentford, they’ll be getting a still-young defender with a good bout of experience for their Premier league voyage, and one who could compliment their attractive style of play.
