Benfica midfielder Joao Teixeira has completed a loan switch to Championship side Nottingham Forest until the end of the season.
The 22-year-old had been on a season-long loan with Wolverhampton Wanderers but fell down the pecking order under new manager Paul Lambert, who had outlined his desire to move the player on this month.
Forest confirmed this afternoon that it had agreed terms with the Midlands side and the Portuguese outfit over a deal that will see him spend the remainder of the season at the City Ground before returning to Portugal in the summer.
During his time with Wolves, Teixeira made 20 appearances in all competitions, scoring twice.
Teixeira becomes Forest's second signing of the month, following on from the loan arrival of midfielder Aaron Tshibola from Aston Villa yesterday.
