Wrexham are close to agreeing a deal to sign Burnley centre-back Joe Worrall. Multiple reports say the move is in the final stages, with Wrexham moving for the 29-year-old defender from Championship rivals.

The reported fee is around £2 million. BBC Sport frames the transfer as Wrexham edging closer, while Yahoo Sports adds that Wrexham are leading the race for Worrall’s signature and notes competition from other Championship clubs. In that context, Yahoo Sports mentions Sheffield United as another contender.

Wrexham’s broader situation is also cited by BBC Sport, which notes the club has not yet kept a clean sheet this season, placing additional emphasis on the defensive recruitment. The reports collectively indicate the key points are the player involved, the clubs’ relationship as Championship rivals, and the reported scale and stage of the transfer.
