Nottingham Forest have signed Yuri Ribeiro.
New Nottingham Forest signing Yuri Ribeiro says he is fulfilling a dream by signing for the club.
In a message to supporters on Twitter, Ribeiro says he has always wanted to play in English football.
Forest signed Ribeiro as part of a double deal with Benfica, also bringing in Alfa Semedo, the Nottingham Post reported.
Ribeiro has joined on a permanent deal and Semedo on loan.
22-year-old Ribeiro is a former Portugal under-21 international and hopes to make the left-back position his own at the City Ground.
Forest will have a new look this season, managed by new boss Sabri Lamouchi, who replaced Martin O’Neill.
Signing Ribeiro appears to be a step in the right direction, if he can make a quick transition to playing in England.
His enthusiasm for the challenge should stand him in good stead, he appears to know what he is letting himself in for.
