New Nottingham Forest signing Gustavo Scarpa has admitted he is already preparing himself for life in England.
The 28-year-old will join the Reds as a free agent in January when his contract at Palmeiras comes to an end. The attacking midfielder was a pivotal part of the Sao Paulo club’s journey to the league title, scoring seven goals and providing 12 assists as well as winning the ESPN Brasil Golden Ball this week, awarded to the league’s best player, which he collected while riding a skateboard
Scarpa will hope to re-create his scintillating performances at the City Ground and help continue Forest’s recently impressive form after the World Cup break. It is the first time the midfielder will be moving countries and he has been studying how to bring his life in Brazil to Nottingham
