BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche has made a new move for Nottingham Forest centre half Joe Worrall.
Dyche is willing to pay more money up front as part of a £10million offer.
But Forest want around £20m in total for their England under-20 captain.
The Clarets rate Worrall highly but may hold out until the summer if there is no breakthrough today.
Worrall is under contract and won’t rock the boat but the lure of the Premier League is still there.
The 21-year-old is seen as a first-team squad man at Turf Moor and then brought through to be a starter shortly.
Worrall has become a Forest regular in the last year and his reputation has soared for club and country.
He fits the Burnley mould perfectly and could be moved on again like Michael Keane if he is a success.

Dyche has also tried and failed to sign defender Rob Holding at Arsenal with the Gunners demanding huge money for the former Bolton starlet.
A loan move remains a possibility but Arsenal would need to sign a replacement with West Brom’s £25million centre-half Jonny Evans still an option.
