Jota Silva, a forward for Nottingham Forest, has acknowledged that, if the opportunity arises, he would like to visit Vitória Guimarães again.
The attacker from Portugal has been talking to O Jogo about his summer transfer to Nottingham Forest.
In an attempt to rejuvenate the team and stave off another relegation struggle, Santo recruited a number of new players to the squad during the summer transfer window, including the 25-year-old.
The departure placed an end to a great two-year career with Vitória for the player, who recorded 20 goals and 11 assists in 83 games after coming for €190,000 in 2022.
It’s been a steady rise up the divisions for him up to this point after he began his career at Sousense, moving to Espinho, Leixões and then Casa Pia before his eventual arrival at Vitoria Guimarães.
Before Nottingham Forest finalized the transaction, he had been linked to a move to the Premier League for some time, and reports from Portugal had shown how interested he was in the prospect.
Although he is now eager to build a name for himself in England, if his career permits, he would eventually like to go back to his old club.
Really. If leaving Vitória was tough, he responded, “It was really tough.”
It’s my second home and my club. I lived there for two wonderful years. There are no words to express the experiences I had.
“I left a family. I have contact with everyone, without exception. My story there is not over. I want to go back one day. I don’t know (when), but one day, and if I am physically well, I want to go back to making the contribution that I always want to make to the teams I play for.
“My story at Vitória, I hope, is not over, I want to go back and feel the love and everything that comes with playing for Vitória.
