Igor Jesus, who Nottingham Forest have agreed a deal to sign for £17 million this summer, has made headlines after starring in a remarkable upset in the Club World Cup. The 24-year-old Brazilian striker was the ‘hero’ as Botafogo shocked European Champions PSG on June 20, scoring the only goal of the contest. Nottingham Forest’s £17 Million Summer Signing Igor Jesus Becomes Club World Cup ‘Hero’ Against PSG Igor Jesus Fires Botafogo to Stunning PSG Upset Botafogo would have been cursing their luck after being drawn in a Club World Cup group alongside European champions PSG and Spanish giants Atletico Madrid – but the Brazilian side now appear guaranteed to reach the knockout stages, having picked up two wins from two games. Striker Igor Jesus has been vital to the Rio de Janeiro outfit’s success, scoring the winner against Seattle Sounders on June 16, before firing past Gianluigi Donnarumma to stun PSG on June 20. The striker’s direct running in behind allowed Botafogo to expose Luis Enrique’s side on the counter, with the Brazilians emerging victorious despite having just 25% possession and only managing four shots in 90 minutes. The 24-year-old has won the Player of the Match award in both his side’s matches and has announced himself on the world stage ahead of a summer move to the City Ground. Has Igor Jesus’ Move to Forest Been Completed? Although the Tricky Trees are yet to formally announce the signing, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that the move has been “sealed” on June 20. The deal looks to be even more of a coup for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side after the Brazilian international’s Club World Cup heroics, and he will arrive in the Premier League in fine form. Forest have also agreed a deal to sign Jesus’ Botafogo teammate Jair Cunha, who has had a similarly impressive tournament. The 20-year-old scored in his side’s opener against Seattle Sounders before producing a magnificent defensive display to keep PSG’s star-studded attack at bay, highlighting that the Midlands club have two fantastic talents on their hands. In addition to Jesus and Cunha, Nuno’s side are hoping to finalise a deal for Botafogo left-back Cuiabano, with some details reportedly still “pending” as they hope to add a third new Brazilian to the squad. What Will Jesus Bring to Nottingham Forest? Igor Jesus’s goal against PSG epitomises why Nottingham Forest were so keen to sign the 24-year-old, and why he is likely to be a success at the City Ground. Following a turnover in play, Jesus sprinted in behind and was found by teammate Savarino with a through ball. The forward stormed past two PSG defenders before a slightly deflected strike caught out Donnarumma, highlighting Jesus’ pace, physicality, and precision on the break. The Brazilian’s counter-attacking proficiency makes him an ideal fit for Nuno’s side, who had the third-lowest possession of any Premier League team last season, averaging just 41.2% of the ball per game. Furthermore, despite Chris Wood hitting a remarkable 20 league goals last season, the 33-year-old New Zealander lacks mobility, and Jesus’s pace and tireless running could make him an invaluable option up front next season.
