Nottingham Forest make €18m transfer bid after Newcastle rejected

Nottingham Forest have reportedly made a second offer to sign Santos forward Angelo Gabriel.

The 18-year-old came through Santos' academy before being promoted to the first-team at the age of 15, becoming the youngest player of Santos to do so. Gabriel has so far featured in all of Santos' games following the start of Campeonato Paulista earlier this month.

According to Brazilian outlet Diario do Peixe, Forest had an initial €15million (£13m) bid rebuffed for the player. However, it is claimed that the Reds have bettered their offer to €18m (£16m).

The teenager caught the eye in the Copa Libertadores becoming the youngest player to feature and score a goal in the competition at just 16 years of age. Newcastle approached Santos last summer but were knocked back with a £17m offer.

Brazil under-20s international Gabriel is under contract with the Sao Paulo based club until 2024.
