Forest's Jota 'proud' of Grealish comparisons

Jota Silva has quickly established himself as a Reds cult favourite - but it is only partly down to his giant calf muscles.

The 25-year-old forward's bulging legs, the way he wears his socks low and his hair pushed back with a headband instantly had him labelled as the 'Portuguese Jack Grealish'.

While Jota says he is "proud" to be compared with Manchester City's England international, he tells BBC East Midlands Today that they are very different players.

It is Jota's high energy and creativity that has captivated the City Ground this season.

"It's great that people like me. It leads to me having more belief," he said.

Jota has featured 14 times for the Reds this season and is now looking to establish himself as a regular in Nuno Espirito Santo's XI after starting his first two matches for the club this week.

"He has been patient enough to realise when the chance comes, he has to take it," Nuno said.
