Nottingham Forest close in on Botafogo trio after holding productive talks with Brazilian club

Nottingham Forest has held further productive conversations about the signing of three Botafogo players.

Those players are Center-Back Jair Cunha, striker Igor Jesus and left back Cuiabano.

Cuiabano was a target for Brighton. Jesus, 24, was searched by Forest in January.

All three played in Sunday's 1-0 with Over Santos and Mail Sport expects the deals to be completed after the club World Cup.

Forest tried to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford in January and was able to take another step for him in the summer.

This season, Wissa scored 19 non-Penalty goals in the Premier League, which was equal to Erling Halaand and Alexander Isak, and behind only Mohamed Salah's 20.

The arrival of Edu, which works in the clubs of Evangelos Marinakis, will strengthen ties with the Brazilian market.

And that could see Juventus -midfielder Douglas Luiz an option, according to Tom Collomosse from Mail Sport.

The playmaker James Mcatee, Manchester City, who had a few minutes at Etihad, is another one that they admire.
