After already making their first approach for his signature, Nottingham Forest have now reportedly been handed the green light to push on and sign a talented 17-goal striker this summer.
Nottingham Forest plotting South American swoop

Having already watched the likes of Murillo thrive at the City Ground, Evangelos Marinakis is set to welcome at least three more Brazilian talents this summer amid reports that Forest have agreed a deal to sign Igor Jesus, Jair Cunha and Cuiabano from Botafogo.
Just how much of an instant impact all three players make remains to be seen, but there's no denying that they are all talented in their own right. That said, the standout remains Jesus.

He's a man in demand...
The striker spot is certainly up for grabs at Nottingham Forest too. As impressive as Chris Wood has been - scoring 20 Premier League goals last season - there's no denying that he'll be past the peak of his powers sooner rather than later at 33 years old. And that's why Romelo's arrival would prove to be so important this summer.
