'Future captain' Nottingham Forest fans have their say on Newcastle United 'interest' in Joe Worrall

Joe Worrall has enjoyed an eye-catching start to the season with Nottingham Forest.

Sabri Lamouchi's side sit second in the Championship table after 11 games, with six wins, four draws and a single defeat to their name - and only Leeds United having shipped fewer than their nine goals conceded.

Worrall has played every minute of those 11 outings in the Forest defence, and his displays have reportedly caught the eye of Premier League side Newcastle United.

The 22-year-old - who graduated through the Nigel Doughty Academy - sent out a passionate tweet following Saturday's 1-0 home win over Brentford to show how much playing for Forest means to him.

"Every time I pull on a Forest shirt I play like it's my last, very lucky to be living the dream," he said.

And Reds supporters have also taken to social media to show their love for the defender, amid Newcastle's reported interest and a promising start to Forest's bid to return to the Premier League.
