Nottingham Forest have secured the signing of Portugal international Jota Silva from Portuguese top-flight club Vitoria on a four-year contract.

The 25-year-old forward netted 15 goals in 42 appearances for Vitoria last season, which led to his first international call-up by Portugal manager Roberto Martinez in March, earning him two caps..

"We can see how excited Jota is to continue his career journey beyond Portugal where he has enjoyed such a strong period in the Primeira Liga with Vitoria," Forest football officer Ross Wilson said.

Forest finished 17th in the Premier League last season, narrowly avoiding relegation by six points.

Under the leadership of Nuno Espirito Santo, the team netted 49 goals in the league.

However, the Portuguese manager is eager to further strengthen his attacking options.

In their summer transfer activity, Forest has secured the services of Fiorentina's Nikola Milenkovic and Newcastle United's Elliot Anderson to enhance their midfield.

Additionally, defender Marko Stamenic has been signed from Partizan Belgrade but will spend the season on loan at Olympiacos.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Carlos Miguel has joined the squad from Brazilian side Corinthians.
