Joe Worrall Joins Burnley from Nottingham Forest

Joe Worrall has finalized his transfer from Nottingham Forest to Burnley, signing a four-year deal after completing a medical. The 27-year-old defender, who has made 226 appearances for Forest, expressed excitement about joining Burnley and contributing to their push for promotion back to the Premier League. Worrall's move follows a loan spell at Besiktas last season and comes amid Nottingham Forest's efforts to streamline their squad under new coach Nuno Espirito Santo, who has added Nikola Milenkovic to bolster the defense. The transfer is pending approval from the relevant football authorities. Worrall's departure marks the end of an era for the academy graduate, who captained Forest during their successful promotion campaign in 2021-22. Burnley, meanwhile, is reportedly looking to offload some defenders, including Ameen Al-Dakhil, amid interest from other clubs.
