Forest Fan TV brings you a thrilling transfer update as Brazilian outlet @futtmais
reports that Nottingham Forest have agreed a €20m (£16.5m) fee with Botafogo for their star striker Igor Jesus, with the 24-year-old Brazilian international set to participate in the Club World Cup before any move is finalized. Despite interest from Arsenal, who made a loan bid in January that was rejected, Forest appear to have stolen a march in the race for the versatile forward, dubbed “fast” by Brazilian media for his pace, movement, and finishing. Wolfie breaks down this exciting development, analyzing whether Jesus, who has six goals and one assist in 22 games this season after a 25-goal, nine-assist last season.
Wolfie dives into Igor Jesus’ profile, highlighting his role in Botafogo’s 2024 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and Copa Libertadores triumphs, and why his physicality and technical attributes make him a strong fit for Nuno Espirito Santo’s system. However, with @EspacoGlorioso
noting that Jesus has not yet fully committed to the move and is contemplating his future, Wolfie explores whether Forest can convince the four-cap Brazil international to join their European project over Arsenal’s allure. With Forest’s previous €30m bid rejected in January due to Jesus’ desire to play in the Club World Cup, Wolfie assesses if the €20m fee represents a bargain or a risk given his lack of European experience.
What do YOU think about this potential signing? Can Igor Jesus fire Forest to success in the Conference League, or should they be wary of his hesitation and Arsenal’s interest?
