Winger Jota Silva on Thursday when he put pen to paper on a four-year contract. Out wide is an area of the pitch Nuno has been keen to strengthen ahead of the new Premier League season, so he will no doubt be delighted to have got this particular deal over the line.Jota’s versatility means he is capable of operating in a few different roles. With keen to utilise various formations, we take a look at how the newest recruit could fit in
ensure they have even more strength in depth out wide. But having players already capable of filling in on either side will certainly be beneficial for Nuno.
The Reds head coach wants the flexibility to deploy a few different systems in 2024/25. However, sticking with the 4-2-3-1 he frequently turned to last term does allow to pick up his favoured No.10 role.
Sels; Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Richards; Sangare, Danilo; Jota, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood.
Playing without a recognised striker didn’t really work in when Forest started with the attacking trio of Elanga, Gibbs-White and Hudson-Odoi. But Jota can fill in as a wing-back, as well as up front, so could give Nuno the option to tweak the system slightly.
