Nottingham Forest has signed 18-year-old German youth international Eric da Silva Moreira on a four-year contract at the City Ground.
Moreira can play wing-back or winger and joins after coming through the ranks at German club St Pauli, who won promotion to the Bundesliga last season.
Moreira said: “I’m really happy to be here.
“I’ve heard a lot about the Premier League and a lot about many clubs, so I’m very happy to be at Nottingham Forest, especially at a club that has a lot of tradition just like my old club.
“Me and my family are really happy about this new challenge. I can’t wait to get started and get to know the city, the people and everything about the club.”
Forest chief football officer Ross Wilson added: “We have a number of exciting young players in our squad already and we are pleased that Eric is another young player with high potential who we are excited to add to our ranks.
“We have tracked his progress at both club and international level, and we are looking forward to his continued progression here with us.”
