LONDON :Nottingham Forest completed the signing of Brazilian defender Cuiabano from Botafogo on a four-year deal on Monday, the Premier League club confirmed.

He joins former Botafogo teammates, forward Igor Jesus, defender Jair Cunha and keeper John Victor at the City Ground after they also signed this summer.
