Gustavo Scarpa has responded well to life at Nottingham Forest following his arrival earlier this month.

The 28-year-old midfielder has so far caught the eye of Forest fans after being handed minutes by Steve Cooper in friendlies. Scarpa joined from Palmeiras on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract.

After coming off the bench to take part in Forest's final friendly against Valencia, he assisted Emmanuel Dennis for the winner in the 2-1 victory. Scarpa then responded to his team mate's post on social media.
