Nottingham Forest defender Murillo has opened up about his three best mates within the first-team dressing room.

The 21-year-old, who joined the Reds from Corinthians this summer, has settled into life at the club seamlessly – with the Brazilian giving credit to Steve Cooper and his teammates.

Murillo has already produced a Man of the Match performance in his second outing for the club, after a superb display in the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace before the international break.

Murillo on his three best mates at Nottingham Forest

Speaking in an interview with the club’s media ahead of the Luton encounter, Murillo admitted that his three best mates at the club are Felipe, Andrey Santos and Danilo.

“We always say that fellow Brazilians abroad are like family and that’s been my experience here.

“They helped me a lot when I arrived, especially Felipe who also played for Corinthians and we play in the same position, he’s been helping me a lot.

“As he’s a more experienced player and has been at different clubs he gives me advice about what I need to do, he helps me a lot on the pitch.

“Danilo and Andrey are a bit younger, they’re closer to my age so we have a laugh. Wherever Brazilians go we’re fun-loving, always laughing and joking. We have great fun together and we’re really like a family.

“Hopefully this connection we have will continue and we’ll remain friends if anyone moves on in the future. It’s a great relationship, we have lunch together as well, we can’t go without our Brazilian food, we miss it a lot. Sometimes I have lunch at Danilo’s house, or we’ll have a barbecue together.

“It’s a really nice relationship.”

The start of a successful stint for Murillo at Forest

After his first two games in a Forest shirt, it is hard not to be excited about the potential of Murillo.

It’s not often you see a 21-year-old defender adapt to the demands of the Premier League in such a short period of time.

Hopefully, he can continue his great start at the club – helping the club progress into a solid and established Premier League side.
