Nottingham Forest hope to sign wonderkid yet to make debut, Newcastle wanted him in January
Nottingham Forest now have another Brazilian wonderkid on their transfer shortlist ahead of next season.
Right now, you’d be forgiven for thinking George Syrianos is playing a real-life version of Football Manager.
South American? Check. Wonderkid? Check. Under the age of 21. You bet!
Forest landed Murillo for just £10.4 million last season, beating off competition from Manchester City for the youngster.
Shortly after, the club signed Andrey Santos on loan from Chelsea – although that deal didn’t quite work out.
In January, Forest were at it again, with Giovanni Reyna – renowned as a wonderkid on Football Manager – joining the club on loan.
Again, that one didn’t really work out but there is a clear pattern emerging when it comes to the transfer policy at Forest.
Now, another player meeting the wonderkid is on the radar of Forest with the summer transfer window now open.

Nottingham Forest used the loan market in pretty horrendous fashion last season, with none of the players making an impact.
The Reds did learn some lessons on the recruitment front when it came to permanent signings but their temporary additions were ordinary at best.
One of those who arrived at the club last summer was Andrey Santos who checked in from Chelsea.
He joined the ranks under Steve Cooper and it was thought that he would help the Reds control games better than they had the season before.
Instead, he barely got a game under the previous Forest manager and was recalled by the Stamford Bridge giants in January.
Santos joined Strasbourg for the second half of the campaign and now a report has delivered some information on his future.
