With his skateboard in hand, it was obvious that he wasn't the typical Brazilian player.
He is more of a guitar-playing, literature-loving, Rubik's cube-solving sort of player, with aninfluencer-sized social media following of 1.2m and plenty of praise to prove he is a genuine football talent.

I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends. Skateboarding is something I like to do. It's a different way of living.

When he joined the Reds at the start of December, he was Forest's 23rd signing of the year.
While he played for the club during the World Cup break, his move from Palmeiras will not be confirmed until the transfer window opens on New Year's Day.
He won eight major trophies in six years with Palmeiras, including the Brazilian Cup.
He only has one cap for Brazil and was overlooked for their World Cup squad, but he has been recognised as the best player in the Brasileiro Serie A with a number of awards.
He described his move to the top flight with Forest as a dream.
What he wants to deliver on the field at his new club is much more straightforward than what he's known for off the field.
He said he tries to score goals and give assists, but he will be hard at work.
