Joe Worrall: Burnley close to deal for Nottingham Forest defender

Must read

Championship side Burnley are in advanced talks to sign defender Joe Worrall from Nottingham Forest.

Englishman Worrall is scheduled to complete a medical on Thursday before signing a four-year deal.

The 27-year-old centre-back has made 226 appearances for his hometown club but spent the second half of last season on loan at Turkish side Besiktas.

Worrall could replace centre-back Ameen Al-Dakhil, who is likely to move to Germany – with Stuttgart reportedly interested in the Belgium international.

Meanwhile, fellow Burnley defender Dara O’Shea is attracting interest from Premier League sides Wolves and Brentford.
