New signing Danilo has spoken about Gustavo Scarpa’s role in helping him join Nottingham Forest.
Danilo, a highly-rated defensive midfielder, completed his move to the City Ground on Monday. Despite still only being 21, he has already clocked up considerable experience across his 141 appearances for Palmeiras, coupled with winning two Copa Libertadores and a league title.
It was this pedigree that brought the attention of several elite teams across Europe but Forest fought off the competition, reuniting him with one of his former Palmeiras teammates in the process. Danilo has explained the influence that Scarpa had in him opting to join Steve Cooper’s side and admits that the 29-year-old is helping him settle into life in England.
