Championship side Burnley are in advanced talks to sign defender Joe Worrall from Nottingham Forest.

Englishman Worrall is scheduled to complete a medical on Thursday before signing a four-year deal.

The 27-year-old centre-back has made 226 appearances for his hometown club but spent the second half of last season on loan at Turkish side Besiktas.

Worrall could replace centre-back Ameen Al-Dakhil, who is likely to move to Germany - with Stuttgart reportedly interested in the Belgium international.

Meanwhile, fellow Burnley defender Dara O'Shea is attracting interest from Premier League sides Wolves and Brentford.
