According to a report from Football Insider, West Ham want to sign Nottingham Forest ace Joe Worrall this summer.
Hammers boss David Moyes will surely be looking to bolster his central defensive department in the summer.

Angelo Ogbonna will soon be 32. Meanwhile, Winston Reid and Issa Diop face uncertain futures at the London Stadium.
Quite who Moyes has his eye on, however, is not yet certain.
But Football Insider claims that Forest ace Joe Worrall could be a target for West Ham. It is suggested that the east Midlands outfit wanted £18 million for the 23-year-old, but they could now accept a lot less because of the global health crisis.
Stats
Worrall has racked up one goal and three assists in 37 Championship outings for Forest so far this season (Who Scored).
In those appearances, he has averaged 0.7 tackles, 1.3 interceptions, 5.1 clearances and 1.3 blocks per game (Who Scored).
The 23-year-old Englishman has also won an average of 3.3 aerial duals per game during those outings (Who Scored).
Standing at 6ft 4in tall, Worrall is a man mountain of a centre-back. He is big, strong and very dominant in the air.
The Forest ace might just be a very useful addition for West Ham. But only if they can get him for much less than £18 million. Perhaps half of that fee would be a fair price for both the Hammers and Forest.
