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.
