Nottingham Forest complete move for Botafogo's Jhon Victor | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest continue to tap the Brazilian well across a busy summer transfer window, as the Premier League side seal a move for Botafogo's Jhon Victor.

The ninth signing of the summer at the City Ground, Victor joins the club as the third arrival from Fogo, following in the wake of Igor Jesus and Jair Cunha.

Victor was impressive for the Brazilian club after arriving from Santos in 2024, helping them to double honours in the Brasileirão & Copa Libertadores.

The 29-year-old was also included in the 2024 Bola de Prata Men's Team of the Year before eventually starring for Botafogo during the recent 2025 Club World Cup, helping Botafogo reach the round of 16 before being ousted by domestic rivals Palmeiras.

Victor will slot in as the third keeper on the books of Forest's senior side, with a view to climb ahead of Belgian shot-stopper Matz Sels in the pecking order.
