Nottingham Forest is on the verge of completing the signing of Jota Silva from Vitoria Guimaraes for a reported fee of £11 million.
The 24-year-old winger, who has already made an impact in the 2024/25 season with a goal in the UEFA Conference League, is expected to be a valuable addition to Forest’s squad.
Known for his versatility and ability to play across the front line, Silva scored 15 goals and provided seven assists last season, making him a sought-after talent.

Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo has been eager to strengthen his wide options and moved swiftly to secure Silva’s services. The deal, which was confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, has also been acknowledged by Vitoria manager Rui Borges.
Borges praised Silva as a “special player” and expressed his happiness for the player’s career progression.
This transfer reflects Forest’s strategic approach in the market, targeting young players with potential resale value and the ability to make an immediate impact. With Silva’s arrival imminent, Forest fans will be eager to see how the Portuguese winger adapts to the Premier League.
