Nottinghamshire, Jan 17 (SocialNews.XYZ) Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of midfielder Danilo from Palmeiras. The 21-year-old Brazilian signs a six-and-a-half-year contract with Forest.

"I'm really happy to be fulfilling my dream of playing in the Premier League and playing for Nottingham Forest," Danilo told the club's official website.

Forest sporting director Filippo Giraldi added: "He is a fantastic talent that will be a great asset for the present and the future of Nottingham Forest."
Danilo came through Palmeiras's academy and made 141 appearances in total for the club, scoring 12 goals.
