Igor Jesus became Nottingham Forest’s first signing of the 2025/26 summer transfer window, joining the Reds from Botafogo.

The Brazilian started his career at Coritiba where he made his first team debut at the age of 18. In 2020, Igor joined UAE side Shabab Al Ahli, where he scored 43 times and registered 20 assists in 88 appearances.

Returning to his homeland in July 2024, Igor’s domestic form earned him his first international call-up as he was selected for Brazil’s World Cup Qualification games in October and November.

A memorable start to his international career saw the striker score on his debut against Chile and provide an assist against Peru.

The versatile forward, who can operate as a central striker or from the wing, led the line for Botafogo as they lifted the Serie A and Copa Libertadores titles last season.
