ANOTHER GREAT SIGNING: Nottingham Forest strike ‘agreement’ for another player right after John Victor

Nottingham Forest is on the verge of completing another signing from Botafogo, as left-back Cuiabano is set to join the club alongside goalkeeper John Victor. This move comes after Forest hijacked a potential move from Sunday’s opponents, West Ham, to strengthen their squad following the departure of Carlos Miguel.

The acquisition of John Victor and now Cuiabano is expected to bolster Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad before the transfer deadline, addressing key areas such as the goalkeeper position and full-back positions. The deal for Cuiabano signifies the continuation of Forest’s relationship with John Textor, with the left-back set to join his Brazilian compatriots at the City Ground.

While Cuiabano had previously expressed interest in a move to European football, negotiations between Botafogo and Forest have reached an advanced stage, pending the player’s approval. Despite salary issues that had previously stalled the transfer, the latest agreement is expected to see Cuiabano finalize his move to Forest.

However, upon his arrival at the City Ground, Cuiabano will be recovering from an ankle injury sustained in August, which led to his absence from recent matches. Despite this setback, Cuiabano’s versatility in playing further forward could prove valuable for Forest, especially in potential tactical variations.

With the upcoming international break providing time for Cuiabano to recover, Forest’s medical team will likely monitor his ankle injury closely to ensure his full fitness before reintegrating him into the squad. The left-back’s past performances and stats from his time at Botafogo highlight his ability to contribute both defensively and offensively, adding depth and quality to Forest’s defensive options.
