Nottingham Forest have held further productive talks over signing three Botafogo players.
Those players are centre-back Jair Cunha, striker Igor Jesus and left-back Cuiabano.
Cuiabano was a target for Brighton. Jesus, 24, was wanted by Forest in January.
All three played in Sunday’s 1-0 with over Santos and Mail Sport expects the deals to be completed following the Club World Cup.
Forest attempted to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford in January and could make another move for him in the summer.
Wissa scored 19 non-penalty goals in the Premier League this season, which was level with Erling Halaand and Alexander Isak, and behind only Mohamed Salah’s 20.

Left-back Cuiabano was previously targeted by Brighton but now looks headed for Forest
The arrival of Edu, working across Evangelos Marinakis’ clubs, will strengthen ties to the Brazilian market.
And that could see Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz become an option, according to Mail Sport’s Tom Collomosse.
Manchester City playmaker James McAtee, who has had few minutes at the Etihad, is another they admire.
