It’s official—Nottingham Forest have secured the signing of Botafogo’s star striker Igor Jesus for a reported €20m (£16.8m) plus bonuses, with the contract signed today, June 4, 2025! The 24-year-old Brazilian, who posted an emotional farewell message to Botafogo fans on Instagram, will join the Reds after the FIFA Club World Cup, marking his final appearance for the Brazilian champions tonight against Ceará. Wolfie reacts to the “Here We Go” news, breaking down the excitement surrounding Jesus’ arrival and what his versatility, physicality, and goal-scoring prowess could bring to Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad for the Premier League and Europa Conference League campaigns.

Despite his stellar performances, including a debut goal for Brazil and a key role in Botafogo’s 2024 Brasileirão and Copa Libertadores triumphs, Jesus reportedly had reservations about leaving Brazil, making this move a bittersweet moment. Wolfie dives into whether this reluctance could pose challenges for his adaptation to the Premier League’s intensity, or if the City Ground’s passionate atmosphere will help him settle alongside Forest’s Brazilian contingent, like Danilo and Murillo.
