With the January transfer window in full swing, the EFL is buzzing with transfer news and rumors. But it’s not just the lower leagues that are caught up in the frenzy – the Premier League is also abuzz with stories connecting top-flight teams to the lower divisions.
One particular player making headlines is Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall. Last month, reports emerged that he was available for transfer and had been excluded from first-team training by his manager at the time, Steve Cooper. Middlesbrough showed interest in Worrall, but now that Cooper has been replaced, questions about his future continue to circulate.
With Nuno Espirito Santo taking charge at Forest, Worrall’s fortunes at the club could change. Despite reports of him being welcomed back, the club still hopes to sell him, as they were charged with breaching the Premier League’s financial rules.
Leicester City has been keen on Worrall, but financial constraints may hinder their ability to make a move. However, West Ham United is also reportedly interested, and their Premier League finances could make them a more likely destination for Worrall this month.
