“I learnt a bit about the history of the club and saw they had won two European Cups. I spoke to Gustavo Scarpa as well, and he told me that Nottingham is a great city and Forest have a quality squad with really good staff.

“I will show a lot of determination and a strong desire to win and will always look to do my best on the pitch to achieve positive results.”

Danilo, who won two Copa Libertadores titles with Palmeiras and was named in the league’s Team of the Year last season, will wear the No. 28 jersey on Trentside.
