‘I’ve never seen anything like this’…Paul Merson stunned by what £15m Nottingham Forest player did against Luton Town
The 55-year-old made the comments while covering the 1-1 draw on Sky Sports.
So what did Paul Merson say about Murillo, who wears Nottingham Forest’s number 40 shirt? Let’s take a look…
Now, the Brazilian made a great attempt to lob Tomas Kaminski from deep in his own half in the 62nd minute of today’s six-point game.
Murillo was unlucky not to score as Luton Town’s number 24 missed his shot. After watching the incredible free-kick, Melson said: “Murillo almost scored one of the greatest goals in Premier League history.
“He hit the ball about 70 yards and Kaminski managed to get it back. I’ve never seen anything like it. ”
Murillo is yet to score for Nottingham Forest since joining Corinthians for £15m in August, despite a number of spectacular shots into the opposition penalty area.
The South American made 26 appearances for Nottingham Forest, providing one assist and receiving four yellow cards. How many defenders would even try to do something like that, let alone come close?
Murillo is undoubtedly a special player and Nottingham Forest did an incredible job signing the Sao Paulo native for just £15m. Recently, centre-backs have seen big transfers, such as Liverpool signing Virgil van Dijk for £75m and Manchester United signing Harry Maguire for £80m. I see it.
It has even been suggested that the Brazilian could play for Manchester City someday, while Atletico Madrid are said to be genuinely interested in signing him. So Nottingham Forest could one day make a huge profit from Murillo if he continues to attract attention.
