Burnley keen on defender Joe Worrall but Nottingham Forest refuse to sell £10m-rated England U21 prospect

Burnley retain an interest in England Under-21 centre-back Joe Worrall even though Nottingham Forest are determined to keep the highly-rated defender.

It’s understood that Burnley value Worrall at £10million and have not given up hope of taking the 21-year-old to Turf Moor before the transfer window closes.

However, a deal seems unlikely with Sean Dyche ready to accept that wingers Aaron Lennon and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou will be the only new arrivals in this window.

Dyche has also inquired about taking Arsenal centre-back Rob Holding on loan, but Arsene Wenger is reluctant to let the 22-year-old leave the Emirates unless he can sign Jonny Evans from West Brom.
