Nottingham Forest captain Joe Worrall has insisted that signing a player of Jesse Lingard's calibre, "should be the norm for the club" following his arrival on a free-transfer.
The Reds secured the ex-Manchester United star's services on a one-year contract after making a substantial offer to sign him. And while the club has been very active in the transfer window this summer, the signing came as a shock to some.
Steve Cooper's side were reportedly battling with "at least four different clubs" for his signature, including West Ham who Lingard had previously been on loan with.
