The inside track on the football stories that matter
Nottingham Forest fans have been stunned as the club are closing in on a deal to sign Portuguese winger Jota Silva.
Reports claimed the agreement is now at the final stages with the final details yet to be sorted with Vitoria, in a deal which appears to have caught supporters by surprise. Fans have been calling to sign a new winger and improve the depth behind Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga, and the club have now moved to sign a new option.
Silva had been linked with a move to West Ham and Brighton earlier in the window, but Nuno Espirito Santo’s side appear to have beaten them to a deal. The 24-year-old had a breakthrough season for Vitoria last season, scoring 15 goals and providing seven assists to earn himself a call-up to the Portugal national team.That goal and assist record quickly caught the attention of teams in England, with Forest rising above the rest to secure a deal for the winger.Fans have now described the move as “exciting”, while one supporter labelled Silva “the Portuguese Jack Grealish” as the hype around his transfer builds.
