Gustavo Scarpa has made a positive early impression at Nottingham Forest as he builds up his fitness following his move from Palmeiras.
The Brazilian’s arrival on a free transfer was announced earlier this month. But his Reds contract will not officially start until January 1, when the one at his former club expires.
He has been able to get some minutes in Forest’s friendlies during the World Cup break, however. And he caught the eye in the 2-1 win over Valencia on Friday night, coming off the bench to set up Emmanuel Dennis for the visitors’ winner.
