Following lengthy negotiations and final medical checks, Eric Emanuel da Silva Moreira has completed a transfer to Excelsior from Nottingham. The defender is now fully registered and eligible for selection for his new team. It's a statement signing for Excelsior, who have moved quickly to finalise the deal ahead of the close of the window, with fans salivating at the thought of seeing their new signing in a Excelsior shirt. Despite interest from Nottingham and Rio Ave the deal has been made public. It's a move that brings clarity to the player's future heading into the final stretch of the season. Excelsior's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.0 goals per game (2 in 2). Eric Emanuel da Silva Moreira would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Reports suggest Nottingham are monitoring Luis Suarez, Dodo and Karim Coulibaly whereas Excelsior have not been associated with other players at this stage.
