SAD News:Murillo has given up his resignation letter just now….

goals to his name during the campaign.

4. Murillo

Right now, the Brazilian is with the Brazil national team and last night he was an unused substitute as a 1-1 draw with Venezuela was secured.

 

The 22-year-old was wanted by a number of clubs in the summer and his form this season has showcased exactly why.

 

Murillo has made a remarkable 65 clearances this season and he’s been a big part of the recent success at Forest.

 

3. Ola Aina

The defender has been switched across to right-back this season and somehow he’s been even better than he was last season on the left.

 

Aina has made 27 clearances this season, whilst he’s also made the most tackles in the Forest squad with 22 during 2024/25.

His recent goal against West Ham was fantastic and will surely be a contender for the Goal of the Month accolade later this month.

 

2. Chris Wood

Wood has to slot into these power rankings given that he’s scored eight goals from 11 appearances this season.

 

Many had doubted whether Wood would be quite as prolific this season after his 14 Premier League goals during 2023/24.

 

But, Wood is well on his way and as Alan Shearer says the Forest man is in the form of his life.
