Sheffield United have come back to the table to try and thrash out a deal to sign Nottingham Forest player Joe Worrall – with Leeds also keen.
This comes from Mike McGrath
So, what does the future hold for Worrall at Forest? Let’s take a closer look…
Sheffield United and Leeds still want Forest defender Joe Worrall
The 27-year-old finds himself way out of the reckoning at Forest and he’s played for a single minute under Nuno Espirito Santo in the Premier League.
According to Mike McGrath, the Forest captain is now wanted by Sheffield United and Leeds, with the Blades pushing hard to land him.
Worrall had been linked with a move to Sheffield United earlier this month, whilst Leeds would be keen if Forest would sanction a loan.
Forest are holding out for a sale, however, as they continue to streamline their squad ahead of the business end of the season.
Serge Aurier has been linked with Galatasaray and Worrall could be the next player to leave the City Ground.
Staying in England would likely favour Worrall
This does feel like the end of the road for Worrall and leaving Forest is in the best interest of everyone at this stage.
It was claimed that Worrall fell out with Steve Cooper when he was in charge and that saw him not involved in the squad for a little while.
It says a lot that with Moussa Niakhate and Willy Boly at the African Cup of Nations, Espirito Santo has turned to the untried Andrew Omobamidele instead of Worrall.
Worrall has made 226 appearances for Forest having graduated from the academy and it will prove a tough decision to move on – although remaining in England might take his fancy.
Fenerbahce have also been linked with a move, although that would represent a really big decision for Worrall to make.
In our view, however, Worrall’s chances of regular game time are non-existent at Forest and a departure looks like the only viable option.
