Murillo will make a name for himself at Nottingham Forest, after the new signing from Corinthians was the star man for the visitors during stalemate against Crystal Palace

It is easy to slip under the radar as a new Nottingham Forest addition when over 40 players have joined in the last two seasons.

And when they misspelt Murillo’s name on his shirt for his debut against Brentford last week jokes wrote themselves about Forest not knowing who they have brought.

The Brazilian defender, 21, was a little-known capture from Corinthians when he joined for £12.5m during Forest’s late summer window flurry. But very quickly he has shown potential to be one of their standout signings.

Murillo is not the tallest centre-back at 6ft though also not hard to miss with his broad shoulders giving him an imposing frame.
