Days before leaving for England, Thomas Tuchel replaced the striker for Bayern Munich, so he provides an update on Harry Kane’s injury.
In today’s relegation six-point game, the Brazilian made an incredible attempt to lob Thomas Kaminski in the 62nd minute from deep within his own half.
The Luton Town number 24 was incredibly unfortunate not to score as he barely managed to get his glove to the effort.
Merson declared, “Murillo almost scored one of the greatest goals in Premier League history,” after witnessing the spectacular freekick.
“He kicked the ball approximately 70 yards, but Kaminski narrowly avoided tipping it over.” Never seen anything comparable to it.
Murillo made a number of impressive runs into the opposition box, but he has not scored for Nottingham Forest since joining the team in an August £15 million transfer from Corinthians.
The South American has made 26 appearances for Nottingham Forest, giving one assist and receiving four yellow cards.
How many defenders do you see attempt something similar, much less succeed so close to the goal?
Without a doubt, Murillo is a unique player, and Nottingham Forest signed the São Paulo native for a mere £15 million.
These days, central defenders are going for big money. Examples of this include Manchester United paying £80 million for Harry Maguire and Liverpool paying £75 million for Virgil van Dijk.
The Brazilian is even considered to be a future player for Manchester City, and Atletico Madrid is thought to be seriously interested in signing him.
Murillo could therefore one day bring in a huge profit for Nottingham Forest if he keeps drawing attention.
