New Nottingham Forest signing Igor Jesus didn’t think twice about accepting an offer to join the club.
The 24-year-old has penned a four-year deal at the City Ground after playing at the FIFA Club World Cup with Botafogo.
He bagged two goals in the tournament, including the winner in the 1–0 victory against Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain.
Jesus was also named Man of the Match in Botafogo’s first two games of the tournament.
He will now aim to settle in Nottingham before hoping to make his Premier League debut in August, with the Reds opening their campaign at home against Brentford.
“I’m really happy to be a part of this new story, especially at a club like Nottingham Forest," he said.
"I didn’t have to think twice about the offer, I embraced it. I embraced the project that they sent me. I am delighted to be coming here and hope to do some great work.
"I will do my very best to achieve great results and bring joy to all the Forest family."
Ross Wilson, Chief Football Officer, said: “We have tracked Igor over a long period of time now and we are pleased he has now joined the Club. Igor joins a strong and united squad, and we are sure that he will settle in well to our group.
“The club continues to grow and develop all the time, and we know Igor shares such ambition as he moves to Nottingham and the exciting challenge for him in the Premier League.”
