Nottingham Forest sent fresh promise as transfer hint dropped

Nottingham Forest release statement confirming imminent transfer

Nottingham Forest have announced that their first signing of the January transfer window will be Gustavo Scarpa.

Scarpa, 28, will join the Reds on January 1 on a free transfer from recently-crowned Brazilian champions Palmeiras. A four-year contract is also confirmed, which sees the one-cap Brazil international set to stay at the City Ground until the summer of 2026.

The player arrived in Nottingham earlier this week and caught the eye by riding around the city centre on a skateboard this weekend. A transfer that has been a worst-kept secret around the club is now finally official just shy of a month before the winter window opens in the new year.

Nottingham Forest transfer hint as race for £21m player hots up

Nottingham Forest's transfer target Djibril Sow has reportedly already been the subject of 'enquiries' from four Premier League clubs ahead of the January transfer window.

In the round of 16, Sow and Co. face Portugal and the prospect of reaching the quarter-finals for the first time since the 1954 edition which was held in their homeland.

Forest reportedly wanted the central midfielder during the summer, with an initial £17 million transfer bid that could have risen by a further four million in add-ons said to have been submitted and a four-year contract on offer to move to the City Ground.
