Nottingham Forest defender Murillo was brilliant on Saturday and Paul Taylor has raved about the centre-back following the 2-0 win over West Ham.
The journalist made the claims in his latest piece for The Athletic.
So, what has Taylor said about Forest defender Murillo? Let’s take a closer look…
What Paul Taylor has said about Forest defender Murillo
Well, it would appear as though Taylor has joined a long list of admirers for the swashbuckling Brazilian defender.
Murillo was absolutely superb at the weekend and his tackle on Michail Antonio caught the eye in the first half.
After a rare slip from Felipe, Antonio headed towards the Forest goal but found a South American brick wall waiting for him in Murillo.
In his latest article for The Athletic, Taylor has lauded Murillo as outstanding and praised him for being remarkably quick.
Murillo signed for Forest f or £10.4 million from Corinthians – but Manchester City wanted to sign him too.
In our view, it might not be too long before a club the size of the European champions comes knocking once again.
Murillo has been fantastic since signing for Forest and he’s basically made a mockery of his tender years with some accomplished performances.
Murillo has taken the Premier League by storm
What a performance this was by Murillo as Forest won 2-0 against a pretty hapless West Ham outfit at the City Ground.
At 21-years-old, Murillo is taking every challenge in his stride and it’s remarkable just how good he’s been.
No centre-back in the Premier League has completed as many progressive dribbles this season – according to Who Scored – and he looks like a modern-day defender.
Murillo also made six clearances during the contest and it’s no surprise that journalists and pundits are waxing lyrical about him.
