Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of Brazilian defender Jair Cunha from Botafogo.

The 20-year-old has signed a five-year deal at the City Ground until at least the summer of 2030.

Cunha joined Botafogo in February and played at the Club World Cup, scoring in the 2-1 win against Seattle Sounders.

He is Forest's second signing from Botofogo inside a week after Brazilian striker Igor Jesus joined for a reported £10m.

"Jair is a young talent who has shown quality during his time in Brazil, and we are happy to have secured his signature," said Forest chief football officer Ross Wilson.
