Nottingham Forest have just completed Igor Jesus signing

Nottingham Forest News can exclusively reveal that a deal has been completed to sign Botafogo striker Igor Jesus, who passed his medical over the last 24 hours.

Journalist Graeme Bailey has informed the site that the club believe it’s a massive coup, with significant interest in the Brazilian.

“Forest are over the moon with this deal, they have worked really hard getting him…he was wanted by a host of clubs and to get him is a major coup,” Bailey explained.

There is still work to do on his Botafogo teammate Jair Cunha, though. Forest remain in talks to sign the young central defender.

Jesus has emerged as one of the best young strikers in Brazil, having netted nine goals so far this season.

In Brazilian football, the league campaign doesn’t start until the end of March and runs through to the end of the year.

• 29 appearances
• 9 goals
• 1 assist

The 24-year-old’s impressive form was rewarded with a call-up to Brazil’s senior squad last year, and he has since collected four caps.

Jesus actually netted on his debut in a 2-1 World Cup qualifier win against Chile.
