Brentford will reportedly go in pursuit of Nottingham Forest centre-back Joe Worrall, amid interest from Burnley and West Ham United also.

Premier League newcomers Brentford have reportedly set their sights on signing Nottingham Forest centre-back Joe Worrall.

The Englishman has attracted interest from Sean Dyche's Burnley and has also been closely linked with a move to West Ham United, but Brentford are said to be readying a move for the defender.

Worrall managed to chip in with one goal and an assist in 31 Championship appearances for Forest last season, and has a long-term contract at the City Ground running until 2024.

According to The 72, Forest will demand a fee in excess of £10m for the centre-back, who was an integral part of Chris Houghton's side that had the best defence in the Championship outside the top six last season.

Thomas Frank is keen to strengthen the Bees' squad ahead of their inaugural Premier League campaign, after finishing their promotion-achieving season as top scorers in the second tier.

Since making his debut for Nottingham Forest in 2016, Worrall has gone on to make 137 appearances for the club.
