South American football expert Tim Vickery has given his verdict on incoming Nottingham Forest attacking midfielder Gustavo Scarpa.
The 28-year-old signed a pre-agreement with Forest in the summer, and is set to arrive at the City Ground in the New Year when his contract with Palmeiras expires. He will make the switch to the Premier League following a four-year stint with the Sao Paulo-based side.
While he may come as an unknown quantity to English football, he is highly regarded in Brazil. In 209 appearances for Abel Ferreira's side, Scarpa claimed 32 goals and 60 assists for the Verdao.
