Brentford have signed teenage forward Gustavo Nunes
from Brazilian Serie A side Gremio, the Premier League club said on Wednesday.
The 18-year-old has signed a six-year contract,
with an option to extend the deal by two years, Brentford said.
"It is another good signing, we have fought
with other clubs," Brentford coach Thomas Frank told the club website.
"He is a winger who can go past players
one-on-one. He is direct and he can create. Gustavo has a lot of potential and
of course we need to maximise that in every aspect. He needs time to settle,
but this is a very exciting signing."
Nunes joined Gremio's youth academy in 2021 and
made his first-team debut in February 2024.
He made 20 appearances for Gremio in the Brazilian top flight this
season, scoring three goals and providing one assist.
