Opening his account for Nottingham Forest was a sign of the progress Danilo has been making, according to head coach Steve Cooper.
The 21-year-old bagged his first goal for the club since his January move when he scored a peach against Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday night. It capped a fine performance from the Brazilian, who was announced as Player of the Match in the Reds’ 3-1 win.
Cooper recognises Danilo’s great potential and has been keen to manage him carefully as he adapts to English football. But the youngster has recently been impressing in training, just as he did at the City Ground in midweek.
