    Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of Brazil striker Igor Jesus from Botafogo.

    The 24-year-old has agreed a four-year deal and says he is "ready to bring joy to the whole Forest family".

    "I'm really happy to be a part of this news story," he said. "I didn't have to think twice about the offer - I embraced it. I embraced the project they sent me.

    "I am delighted to be coming here and hope to do some great work."

    Jesus, who has four caps for Brazil, got two goals in the Club World Cup as Botafogo made the knockout stages, scoring and being named player of the match against European champions Paris St-Germain.

    "We have tracked Igor over a long period of time now and we are pleased he has joined the club," said Forest's chief football officer Ross Wilson. "He joins a strong and united squad.

    "The club continues to grow and develop all the time and we know Igor shares such ambition as he moves to Nottingham."

    BBC Radio Nottingham's Colin Fray believes Nottingham Forest have no desire to sell Anthony Elanga to Newcastle this transfer window.

    "Forest are clearly not interested in selling," Fray said on the Shut Up and Show More Football podcast. "They're not having to sell, not desperate to sell and they want to keep Anthony Elanga. That's not a surprise because there is no substitute for pace.

    "You see the pace he has and he's also got something on the end of it. It's all very well being able to run fast but you've got to be able to control the ball when you're running and be able to do something with it.

    "Just look at his goal against [last season] Manchester United at the City Ground - that will tell you everything you need to know about the player."

    Elanga has 11 goals and 21 assists in 82 appearances for Forest and Fray says his end product has caught the attention of rivals.

    "That's why Newcastle want him," he said. "They've got a Champions League campaign and they're keen to strengthen, so they're looking at their options. Forest are not in a position that they have to sell but I suppose you come back to that old phrase of every player has got a price.

    "There might come a point - it depends if Newcastle are going to go high enough. When the money becomes attractive, that's when you look at what players you can bring in. Option A - a replacement and option B - a replacement plus a couple more to add to the strength in depth."
