Worrall and McKenna looking set for City Ground exits
Last week, it was reported that ‘Boro were keen to bring Worrall to the club in the January window, in order to boost their defence options.
Subsequent reports from The Daily Mail have since claimed that both Worrall and McKenna, have been told to train at different times to the rest of Forest’s first-team squad.
It is thought that is not down to any issues relating to player behaviour, although both will apparently be free to leave The City Ground in the January window.
Now it seems as though that situation, is one that Middlesbrough are looking to take advantage of, when it comes to both players.
Middlesbrough eyeing double Nottingham Forest swoop
According to this latest update, Middlesbrough are now leading the race to sign both McKenna and Worrall during the January transfer window.
That is apparently due to the fact that Michael Carrick’s side have moved quickly to enquire about the availability of the duo.
Worrall came through the academy ranks at Forest, and has made 223 first-team appearances in all competitions for the club to date.
McKenna meanwhile, has made a total of 105 appearances for the club, since joining from Aberdeen back in the summer of 2020.
As things stand, McKenna’s contract with Forest is due to expire at the end of this season, while Worrall, who it still the club’s captain, only signed a new deal until the summer of 2026, back in September.
