Head coach Steve Cooper admits Nottingham Forest will need to be patient with January signing Danilo as he adapts to English football and the Premier League.
The 21-year-old, who penned a six-and-a-half-year deal with the Reds earlier this week after joining from Palmeiras, is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in Brazil. Forest beat off competition from a number of big-name clubs to secure his signature, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Monaco all having been linked with the midfielder.
It was quite the coup for the club. And the youngster has made a positive early impression, catching the eye in training and settling in well in the dressing room - helped by fellow countrymen Renan Lodi and Gustavo Scarpa.
