Ex-Rangers defender Joe Worrall in £10M tug-of-war between West Ham and Burnley

Former Rangers defender Joe Worrall is at the centre of a Premier League bidding war this summer, with West Ham and Burnley keen on his services.

Worrall, 24, has enjoyed an impressive season at Nottingham Forest, alongside Scotland international Scott McKenna, despite the Championship club narrowly avoiding relegation to League One.

The centre-back spent a season on-loan at Ibrox during the 2018/19 campaign, and it's probably fair to say he didn't exactly pull up any trees during his time in Scottish football.

However, it seems Worrall has improved somewhat since then, with Forest reportedly demanding a £10million fee for a player the developed through their youth academy.

According to the Sun, Sean Dyche is planning to launch a bid in that region in the coming weeks following the sale of Ben Gibson, with David Moyes's West Ham also in the hunt for his signature.

Worrall has been capped by England at Under-20 and Under-21 level, but he's never made the step up to play in English football's top-flight, and it remains to be seen whether or not the sizeable fees mentioned for his services prove to be a wise investment.
