Nottingham Forest defender Murillo has been sharing what assistant manager Rui Pedro Silva has been saying to him at the City Ground.

The central defender has been speaking to ESPN in Brazil.

So, what does Silva keep saying to Forest star Murillo? Let's take a closer look at the player's comments.

What Forest assistant manager keeps saying to Murillo Well, it would appear as though Murillo is a popular player at Forest - and he looks set for a seriously bright future in the game.

The 21-year-old was signed by Forest for just PS10.

4 million from Corinthians during the summer transfer window.

Reports have already claimed that Forest believe he will earn the club more than the PS47.

5 million they got for Brennan Johnson when Murillo eventually leaves.

The assistant even jokes with me, saying I'm his son.

I say 'No, stop it, come'.

So the guy helps me a lot.

"No ceiling for Murillo - he could go to the top In our view, it's a real possibility that the defender leaves Forest for a very top club at some point in his career.

Hopefully, the youngster can continue honing his skills with Forest for now and Murillo appears happy at the City Ground.

Manchester City initially wanted to sign Murillo before he joined the Reds and they're likely still looking at the Brazilian.

The player is not the first to come out and praise Espirito Santo since he replaced Steve Cooper.

It would appear that things are taking shape behind the scenes and the challenge is to do it more often on a matchday.

Murillo is still learning but it's fair to say that he's provided a positive tick in the box for the recruitment team at Forest.
