Nottingham Forest Sign Eric Da Silva Moreira From St Pauli

Premier League side, Nottingham Forest has announced the signing of Eric da Silva Moreira from St. Pauli.

The winger has signed a four-year contract  having spent the last nine years at the German club, rising up through their youth system.

“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,” said the 18-year-old.

“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.”

Moreira, a Germany Under-17 international, only made his professional debut for St. Pauli last season and helped them win promotion to the Bundesliga for the first time in 13 years.

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 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.”

Moreira becomes Forest’s second signing of the summer after Marko Stamenic, who has joined Olympiakos on loan for next season.
