About
Igor Jesus is a Brazilian forward who leads the line for Premier League side Nottingham Forest. Born Igor Jesus Maciel da Cruz, he came through the youth ranks at Coritiba before moving to the United Arab Emirates with Shabab Al Ahli, where a prolific spell yielded 43 goals and 20 assists across 88 appearances. He returned to Brazil with Botafogo in 2024 and played a central role in the club’s remarkable double-winning campaign, claiming both the Brazilian Serie A title and the Copa Libertadores. His form at the 2025 Club World Cup, where he scored twice including the winner against Paris Saint-Germain, sealed his switch to Forest and earned him a first Brazil call-up, with a goal on his senior debut against Chile. A powerful, mobile centre-forward, he is contracted at the City Ground until June 2029 on reported weekly wages of £45,000.
