done deal: after waiting for many years Nottingham forest sign a curial player..

Nottingham Forest signed five players in the final 48 hours of the transfer window; at the end, they had added 13 players, including seven on deadline day.

Comparisons to the summer of last year, when 22 new players joined during the summer window, will undoubtedly be made. Forest’s decision over which players make the cut for the 25-man squad list they must submit to the Premier League will now be made until September 13.

Nevertheless, it has also given Steve Cooper a considerably more robust group of players to work with, bar Brennan Johnson’s £47.5 million move to Tottenham Hotspur.

The eight players that Forest signed over the last two days of the transfer window are listed here, along with their potential contributions.

The Brazilian shows up not only full of potential but also with a pre-made chant of his own.

When the 21-year-old’s coming was hinted to on social media, Nottingham Forest even took note of this:

It’s uncertain how popular Tony Christie’s song “(Is This The Way To) Amarillo” is in Brazil, but Murillo should fit right in the Premier League. He is described as being at ease with the ball and content to carry it out from the back. He is a physically strong player who is dominant in the air.

Being left-footed is an extra bonus, as he will face competition from Moussa Noachite and Scott McKenna for the left-sided position in the back three.

He has only made 13 appearances in the Brazilian top division this season after breaking into the first team at Corinthians. Forest has made a significant investment in a player who is well-liked at home but has little experience.
