The reports in England suggested that Newcastle are eyeing move for Joe Worrall.

The 22-year-old has long been touted as one of England’s most promising young talents.

Worrall has represented England at Under-20 and Under-21 level, winning 7 caps.

The report claims that Newcastle manager has extensively scouted Joe Worrall and is considering a move for the defender.

Newcastle are in the market for just a handful of statement signings who can improve the first-team.

According to Tribalfootball, “Newcastle United are eyeing Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall. Worrall, 22, has impressed at the City Ground this season and Steve Bruce is a big admirer of the centre-back, says The Sun. He is eyeing a January move for Worrall on the cheap as the Forest youth graduate is out of contract in the summer. Bruce reckons the no-nonsense defender can help shore up his backline for the second half of the season, regardless of where his team are in the table. Worrall has been a Premier League target in the past for both Burnley and Crystal Palace but he refused to leave his boyhood club.”
