Everton are watching Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall.

The Toffees are serial offenders for leaking goals this season, shipping 52 in their 30 league games so far.

The Liverpool Echo says scouts from the blue side of Merseyside were in attendance as Forest bowed out of the FA Cup to Liverpool in March.

Worrall has been part of a back line which has kept 13 clean sheets, following a dramatic turnaround since Steve Cooper took over at Forest earlier this season.

The 25-year-old has also been an essential part in the club's current fine form, playing every minute in their unbeaten run which currently stretches to 10 matches.
