The Botafogo star who scored a shock winner against Paris Saint-Germain at the Club World Cup has already signed for a Premier League team.

PSG, who won last season's Champions League, opened their Club World Cup campaign with a resounding victory over fellow European giants Atletico Madrid.

But Luis Enrique's side succumbed to Brazilian outfit Botafogo, who ran out 1-0 winners in Friday's clash in Pasadena, California.

Igor Jesus's first-half strike secured his side a famous victory over PSG as they open their campaign with back-to-back victories following their 2-1 win over Seattle Sounders.

Jesus also scored in his team's victory over Seattle Sounders.

The 24-year-old forward is quickly making a name for himself but he has already sealed a move away from Botafogo.

He is set to join Nottingham Forest ahead of the 2025/26 season.

That's according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims Jesus 'can be considered a new Nottingham Forest player' alongside Jair Cunha, who is also set to move to the City Ground.

The Telegraph state the deal will cost £30 million.

Needless to say, Forest's early business got fans online talking.

One X user wrote: "Cold signings from Forest."

A second said: "Forest moving fast this window."

A third added: "Forest cooking early this window."

It's a huge signing for Forest as Jesus was brought to Arsenal's attention during the January transfer window.

South America-based journalist Tim Vickery told Give Me Sport: "Igor Jesus is Brazil's centre forward and currently at Botafogo. The idea, I think, after the Club World Cup is to go to the Premier League. I was surprised that Arsenal didn't bite during the January window."

Jesus will continue to represent Botafogo at the Club World Cup before leaving once the competition has concluded.

They resume their campaign on Monday against Atletico.

As for PSG, they face Seattle Sounders on the same day as Enrique hailed Botafogo's defence.

"I think it's normal," he said. "This competition is very intense and difficult. Every team is motivated, especially against our team.

"I think sometimes our team struggled against their defense. I think Botafogo is one of the toughest defensive teams in the tournament."
