Eric da Silva Moreira

Da Silva Moreira arrived at Forest with a reputation built on versatility rather than one defined role, comfortable enough in possession to have played further forward as a winger during his time in the German academy system. As a right back he reads passing lanes early and steps out to intercept rather than waiting for the winger to commit. That habit suggests real football intelligence for someone still so early in his career.

A loan spell away from Forest exposed how much physical development still needs to happen before he holds down a regular Premier League spot. That is normal for a defender his age rather than any specific failing. The question worth watching is whether Forest settle him permanently at right back or keep using that versatility to cover several positions at once.
