Rio Ave have wrapped up the signing of Eric Emanuel da Silva Moreira, who joins from Nottingham Forest. The defender's move has been made official after successful negotiations, a passed medical, and contract signing. The confirmation has been welcomed by fans, who've waited eagerly for this long-anticipated deal to go through. The move attracted little outside interest, which meant Rio Ave could complete the transfer without any real contest. So far in this season, Rio Ave are conceding 1.86 goals a game (13 in 7), more than they'd like compared to the Primeira Liga standard. The hope is Eric Emanuel da Silva Moreira adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Speculation continues to connect Nottingham Forest with Roger Fernandes, Kang In Lee and John Victor while no fresh rumours surround Rio Ave. More on this story as it develops.
