West Ham impressed with Joe Worrall after latest display v Liverpool
West Ham scouts were “hugely impressed” with Joe Worrall for his performance against Liverpool in the FA Cup on Sunday (20 March), according to Claret and Hugh.
The Championship club fought bravely against the Reds as they lost 1-0. Worrall was brilliant during the game.
Forest are in the mix for promotion to the Premier League this season, but the Hammers desire to get his deal done for him in the summer.
Smart signing
David Moyes is apparently a big fan of the defender and the Hammers are considering making a move for him in the summer transfer window.
It seems Moyes has instructed the scouts to keep a close eye on Worrall, and they have given left impressed by him after his brilliant performance against Liverpool.
Worrall could cost in the region of £15m in the summer and the Hammers should not hesitate in splashing the cash for him if he is available in the market.
He has a contract at the club till 2024, and Forest are in no rush to sell him.
If they can secure promotion to the Premier League, probably they’ll not be interested in doing any business for their key player, unless there’s a massive offer on the table.
The Hammers need to bolster their defensive options in the summer, and Worrall would be a fantastic signing.
Moyes has signed players from Championship before, and it looks like the club wishes to secure his signature.
