Premier League club 'line up' Nottingham Forest transfer on one condition

Premier League side West Ham United are reportedly eyeing up a move for Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall if the Reds fail to achieve promotion to the Premier League.

Forest face Huddersfield Town at Wembley Stadium this weekend (Sunday 4pm) looking to return to the top flight after more than 20 years away. Worrall, 25, has been at the club since 2011 and has progressed up the youth teams to become Steve Cooper's captain. The defender enjoyed a loan spell at Dagenham & Redbridge in 2016 before drastically improving at Scottish side Rangers for the 2018/19 campaign.

The defender has made 182 appearances for the Reds and became a key player in Nottingham under Sabri Lamouchi. After starting every league game of the 2019/20 campaign, his importance to Forest under Cooper has increased, playing a pivotal part within Cooper's back three alongside Steve Cook and Paul McKenna.
