Forest boss Steve Cooper could be set to secure another first-team star for the long term.
Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper could now look to open talks with another of his star men at the City Ground over a new contract, according to reports.
What’s the latest news involving Nottingham Forest?
Last week, Nottingham Forest club captain Joe Worrall put pen to paper on a contract extension with the Tricky Trees, which will now see him stay at the East Midlands-based outfit until the summer of 2026.
Delighted with his decision, Worrall told Nottingham Forest’s official website: “I’m over the moon and just so pleased to extend my time with the club. You only have to look to the future and it looks very bright. Everybody knows how much we care to try and improve as a team and try and push on as a club.
Football Insider claim that Worrall has received a significant pay rise from his previous £15,000 per week terms at Nottingham Forest and also indicate that the former England Under-21 international had interest in his services from elsewhere in the summer.
Worrall had less than a year left on his deal at the City Ground and would’ve been able to sign a pre-contract with a foreign club in January had he not found an extended agreement with his boyhood club.
Meanwhile, as per reports in Sweden, Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga has been released from Sweden’s international camp after sustaining an injury in training and played no part in their 5-0 victory over Estonia in EURO 2024 qualifying.
