Sheffield United are interested in Nottingham Forest centre-back Joe Worrall, according to a report by Football Insider.
After being relegated from the Premier League, Sheffield United is eager to sign the defender this summer. After finishing in the bottom three with Burnley and Luton Town in the Championship, they will be hoping to return right away.
Despite having a contract that runs until 2026, Worrall, 27, has fallen out of favour at Nottingham Forest in the top division and may leave during the next transfer window. He played for Besiktas on loan in the Turkish Super Lig for the majority of the previous season.
According to Football Insider’s most recent report on his future, the Blades have made him a target as they want to add some new players. At Bramall Lane, Chris Wilder is still in command and is aware of what it takes to get out of the second tier.
Sheffield United eye defender
Worrall may be seen by Sheffield United as someone who can strengthen their defence.
Although he has spent his entire career with Nottingham Forest, he could use a long-term change of scenery.
The man, who was born in Nottingham, became a fixture for his hometown team at several different young levels after rising through the academy ranks.
Worrall has made 226 appearances across all competitions for his current club, tallying five goals from the defensive position.
After the Reds defeated Huddersfield Town at Wembley in the 2022 play-offs, he contributed to their victory. Since then, they have continued to rise.
The former England youth international has previously spent time on loan at Dagenham and Redbridge, as well as Rangers.
What next?
Sheffield United must make sure that their hiring is done correctly because they have a busy few months ahead of them.
After his time at Besiktas, Worrall will be in good shape, and the Blades could use his experience and prior promotion.
Wilder’s squad may need to move quickly on this one since, like with any player of his level, other teams may be vying for his signature.
