Nottingham Forest forward Jota Silva has joined Besitkas on a season-long loan.

The Turkish Super Lig club have the option to make the 26-year-old’s move a permanent one at the end of the season.

Portugal international Silva joined Forest from Guimaraes in August 2024 on a four-year contract.

He scored four goals and provided three assists in 38 games in all competitions for Forest last season.

Forest made 13 signings in the summer including England Under-21 forward Omari Hutchinson from Ipswich Town for a fee of £37.5m.

Former Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou was appointed as Forest head coach earlier this week, replacing the sacked Nuno Espirito Santo.
