<p>NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) — Brazil striker Igor Jesus, one of the stars of the ongoing Club World Cup, signed for Nottingham Forest from Botafogo on Saturday.</p>
<p>The 24-year-old center forward scored twice for Botafogo at the tournament taking place in the United States, including the decider against Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain.</p>
<p>Igor Jesus joined Botafogo from UAE team Shabab Al Ahli in July 2024 and and his impressive domestic form earned him a first call-up by Brazil for World Cup qualifiers in October and November. He scored on his debut, against Chile.</p>
<p>"I'm really happy to be a part of this new story, especially at a club like Nottingham Forest," Igor Jesus said. "I didn't have to think twice about the offer, I embraced it. I embraced the project that they sent me. I am delighted to be coming here and hope to do some great work."</p>
<p>Forest finished in seventh place in the Premier League last season after being in the Champions League places for much of the campaign.</p>
