Nottingham Forest have announced the signing of Brazilian midfielder Danilo.

It's understood Palmeiras have accepted an £18m offer from Forest.

Arsenal were interested in signing the 21-year-old but he has switched Palmeiras for the City Ground instead.

Danilo has signed a six-and-half-year contract to keep him at Forest until 2029.

Following the deal, he said: "I'm really happy to be fulfilling my dream of playing in the Premier League and playing for Nottingham Forest.

"I learnt a bit about the history of the Club and saw they had won two European Cups. I spoke to Gustavo Scarpa as well, and he told me that Nottingham is a great city and Forest have a quality squad with really good staff."
