West Ham United has rekindled their interest in Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall, whom they have previously attempted to sign before. After Nottingham Forest’s promotion in May 2022, they failed to secure the signing, but with Hammers boss David Moyes eager to strengthen the team’s central defensive ranks, another attempt may be on the horizon.
Reportedly, West Ham is keen on Worrall and could offer him more first-team opportunities than he has had with Forest this season. With Kurt Zouma struggling with fitness and Angelo Ogbonna reaching an older age, the addition of a proven center-back at the London Stadium is crucial.
It is speculated that Worrall’s lack of action in this season may prompt his move to East London in the upcoming January transfer window. Many believe that Worrall would be a smart signing by Moyes, especially with reports suggesting that he could be available for around £12-15 million.
At 6ft 4in, Worrall is known for his dominance in the air and tenacious tackling abilities. He is considered a composed and mature defender, already showing leadership qualities for Forest despite his lack of recent playing time.
If West Ham can secure Worrall for just £12 million, it would be seen as a great deal for Moyes and the team.
