Nottingham Forest’s Joe Worrall is the latest centre-back linked with a move to Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers.

According to the Daily Record, Rangers have enquired about a season-long loan for Worrall.

However, it is claimed the Ibrox side could face competition from Championship trio, Aston Villa, Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion.

Worrall has played regularly since emerging from Nottingham Forest’s academy system, earning three caps for England’s Under-21s.

But the 21-year-old is yet to feature under Aitor Karanka this season, increasing Rangers’ chances of a positive response.

And some Forest fans would welcome a temporary Ibrox switch for Worrall, although others disagree.

This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

Rangers have recruited 12 new players since Gerrard’s May appointment, including centre-backs Connor Goldson and Nikola Katic.

But the addition of a third new face in Worrall’s position continues to elude the Gers, who have also been linked with moves for Jake Cooper, Curtis Tilt and Mark Beevers.
