The Daily Mail reported on Tuesday that Nottingham Forest have turned down an £11.5m offer from Premier League side Burnley for defender Joe Worrall.

The 21-year-old academy graduate is a crowd favourite at the City Ground for the passion and commitment that he displays on the pitch, and has already captained the senior side.

Worrall is an England Under-21 international and considered one of the best young centre-backs in the Championship, having just racked up 50 appearances for the Reds.

Forest tied down Worrall to a new contract in October and the Daily Mail claims that Aitor Karanka is determined to keep the centre-back as he aims to build a squad capable of promotion.

However, Forest fans have seen the likes of Oliver Burke and Britt Assombalonga sold in recent years and want new owner Evangelos Marinakis to display some ambition that was missing from the previous Fawaz Al Hasawi regime.
