Nottingham Forest are reportedly "going for it" as they push for the signing of Benfica attacker Jota, which has drawn an interesting reaction from fans of the East Midlands club.
The Reds missed out on the play-offs in dramatic circumstances last season, with a swing in goal difference meaning they slipped out of the top six on the final day.
Sabri Lamouchi has been gearing up for another promotion push this summer and it appears he's keen to add Jota to his squad.
According to reputable journalist Antonis Oikonomidis, Forest are "going for it" in their attempts to sign the 21-year-old.
It could be a tough deal to get done, however, as Oikonomidis has added that "the kid is really good and on big demand".
Despite his young age, Jota has made 34 appearances for Benfica already – scoring twice and adding three assists.
The 21-year-old is thought to be one of the Portuguese club's most exciting young talents, having impressed regularly at age-group level for both Benfica and Portugal.
Jota was linked with a move to the City Ground in January but it appears the East Midlands club are pushing hard in an attempt to get a deal done.
