Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of Portugal international Jota Silva on a four-year deal.
The 25-year-old, who celebrated his birthday on the day of his signing – has joined from Vitoria, where he scored 15 goals in 42 matches last term.
He has earned two international caps under Roberto Martinez and will be looking to ramp that tally up with a move to the Premier League.
Forest struggled in 2023-24, finishing 17th and just keeping themselves in the top flight.
But head coach Nuno Espirito Santo will be hoping the arrival of Silva will add more quality to his squad as they bid for survival once again this season.
Chief football officer Ross Wilson said: “We can see how excited Jota is to continue his career journey beyond Portugal where he has enjoyed such a strong period in the Primeira Liga with Vitoria Guimaraes, which resulted in him earning his debut for the Portuguese national team back in March.”
