Leeds United are reportedly bidding to sign Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall, with the Reds making a £6m offer, according to a report from Alan Nixon. The club are looking to bring a centre-back to the Championship before the end of this week’s transfer window.
However, they are not alone in their pursuit, competing with Sheffield United.At 27, Joe Worrall faces an uncertain future at the City Ground and his playing time has been reduced recently.
Despite this, he continues to be the official captain of the club.According to the latest update on Reporter Nixon’s Patreon page, Nottingham Forest are demanding £6m for Worrall due to interest from both Leeds United and Sheffield United.
However, it is understood that the Blades are only looking at temporary signings in this window, which is likely to prevent them from making a move for Worrall.The former England youth international played a crucial role in Nottingham Forest’s 2022 promotion drive under former manager Steve Cooper.
Worrall has been with the Reds throughout his career so far, progressing through their academy ranks.Should the 27-year-old join Sheffield United, he would link up with former Forest team-mate Ben Brereton-Diaz..
