'Wonderful'... BBC pundit blown away by 'incredible' Nottingham Forest 22-year-old

Nottingham Forest star Danilo was lauded by Michael Brown during last night’s 3-2 defeat to Brentford.

The midfielder was praised by Brown on BBC Radio 5 Live.

So, what did the pundit say about Forest midfielder Danilo? Let’s take a closer look…

What Michael Brown said about Forest player Danilo

Well, it seemed he was blown away by his brilliance after he fired the team into a lead after just three minutes.

Danilo produced a stunning long-range effort to give the Reds the early advantage in the game.

Brown was seriously impressed with Forest star Danilo and after his goal he raved about him live on air.

The pundit told BBC Radio 5 Live: “Incredible. Forest kept the attack alive, it was a poor clearance from Brentford.

“The ball flew into the air and it’s a wonderful touch from Danilo to set himself. Left knee, then right volley. Wonderful technique and balance.”

It’s been a frustrating season for Danilo at Forest in truth, following the injury he picked up against Chelsea in September.

However, he’s returned under Espirito Santo and ultimately, he now has a real chance to get a regular place in the team.

Forest are limited in midfield at the moment and with Anthony Elanga and Morgan Gibbs-White injured, there is also a shortage in attack.

Danilo plays between the lines quite well and that gives Forest head coach head coach Espirito Santo a versatile midfield option to call upon.

He’s now scored in his last two games and hopefully, Danilo can garner some consistency and maintain his place in the team.

The Reds desperately need some signings this month to help the chances of avoiding relegation.

With Danilo in this sort of form, however, Forest might not need to worry about signing a midfielder.
