Head coach Steve Cooper is excited by the potential of Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo as he continues to show what he can do in the Premier League.
Cooper was keen to manage the 22-year-old carefully when he made the move from Palmeiras in January, easing him in gradually and even not giving him minutes for a spell. That patience paid off and the Brazilian has now clearly got to grips with English football, having put in some standout displays and scored in three successive games in recent weeks.
He is one of a number of talented youngsters in the Reds squad, alongside the likes of Brennan Johnson, Morgan Gibbs-White and Neco Williams. But although Danilo and his teammates still have their best years ahead of them, Cooper wants the immediate focus to be on putting in another fine performance against Arsenal on Saturday as Forest look to secure survival.
