In preparation for the next Premier League season, Nottingham Forest has finalized the terms of their sixth summer acquisition. Their newest recruit has been scheduled for a medical examination.
Nottingham Forest is anticipated to operate after hours.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s team has only brought in five new players so far this summer. In addition to Elliot Anderson, a £35 million addition from Newcastle United, they have also signed Nikola Milenkovic, a highly regarded Serbian defender, to replace Moussa Niakhate, who has completed his move to Lyon.
In addition, they signed young players Marko Stamenic and Eric da Silva Moreira from St. Pauli and Red Star Belgrade, respectively, and goalkeeper Carlos Miguel from Corinthians.
However, they should continue to be very busy during the upcoming transfer window month. John Percy, a trustworthy reporter, reports that they are considering at least five new faces.
Between now and the end of the transfer window, “Forest will look to make further additions,” with “two wingers, a forward, a left-back, and another goalkeeper” being the “priority.”
They are rumored to be preparing a bid for Wesley Gassova, an excellent youth from Brazil, and have been linked to a surprise loan transfer for Aaron Ramsdale, the number two player for Arsenal. Additionally, the club is close to finalizing another agreement.
Winger scheduled a medical in Nottingham Forest
This comes in the form of Jota Silva, a Portuguese attacker who is scheduled to travel to England this week to finalize a medical examination with the Reds before to finalizing his transfer to the City Ground.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano claims that Forest and Vitoria have reached a “verbal agreement” about a deal that will see Forest pay €7 million up front with the possibility of further €6 million in add-ons.
These add-ons are worth €3 million if he participates in 15 games and an additional €3 million if he scores 10 goals. He will probably receive a significant raise from his present £3,000 per week contract with Portugual.
Silva, who is still only 24 years old, led Nuno’s attack last season with 11 goals and 7 assists from the right wing.
Analyst Ben Mattinson on X said that it was a “top” season and that he “plays a lot like” Manchester City star Jack Grealish, who used to play for Aston Villa in the Midlands.
Therefore, it is not surprising that he has earned the moniker “Portuguese Jack Grealish” in Vitoria, partly because of his low socks and low gravity changes and spins when dribbling the ball. However, he admits that he also sees parallels with another Premier League player.
He told the Guardian, “I recognize a little bit of myself in Diogo Jota’s style.” In the event that a deal goes through, he will now get the opportunity to play against both players this season.
