Jota Silva and Jack Grealish went viral when they were pictured together earlier on this season, and details of a promise they made has now surfaced.
Nottingham Forest have won their last five games since suffering defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad on the 4th of December.
The Reds haven’t conceded in their last three games and look very good value for their position in the table, with European football surely set to be secured at the City Ground.
Nuno Espirito Santo hasn’t tried to chop and change things either, as he’s more than happy to let the opposition have the ball and catch them on the counter.
However, it didn’t pan out against Manchester City, but there was one highlight for fans as we got to see Jack Grealish and his lookalike Jota Silva together.
Jota Silva and Jack Grealish make promise to each other
Jota Silva has strangely been linked with an exit from Nottingham Forest ahead of January, with James McAtee being stated as a potential replacement.
However, it remains to be seen as to how likely an exit is, as the Portuguese winger has looked bright at times and can definitely add something in the second half of the season.
Jota Silva was gifted a start against Manchester City in the 3-0 loss, which gave him a chance to go up against his long lost brother, Jack Grealish.
Speaking in an interview with Tribuna, the Nottingham Forest winger revealed a promise that he and Grealish made together which involved swapping shirts.
The article states.
‘When they crossed paths on the pitch, the Manchester City player asked him if Jota was his famous twin. “It was funny”, admits the player who transferred to England in the summer in exchange for €7 million (plus €5 million in variables). “It was promised” that, in the second round, they would exchange jerseys. And we know that what is promised is due.’

Elliot Anderson has also been told he plays like Jack Grealish
Athletic reporter Carl Anka compared Elliot Anderson to Jack Grealish earlier on this season when Nottingham Forest faced Crystal Palace.
"I've got to say, Elliot Anderson, in the highlights of him that I'm seeing I'm sat there thinking, 'Oh, Jack Grealish used to do that for Villa'."
Elliot Anderson is another example of a fantastic bit of business done by Nottingham Forest in the summer, with Newcastle regretting his exit even more now.
