New Nottingham Forest star earns rave reviews as Man City transfer question posed

Nottingham Forest midfielder Gustavo Scarpa caught the eye of Reds fans with his performance against Valencia on Friday evening.

The new Reds star came off the bench to make a starring appearance, lighting up the game and earning rave reviews from supporters watching the match.

Scarpa officially joined the Reds this month from Brazilian club Palmeiras, moving on a free transfer as his contract over in Brazil expired following the conclusion of their season. He has been in friendly action for Forest over the World Cup break, though, and here is what fans are saying about him tonight.
