João Carvalho will bring more attacking weapons for Almeria
The 23-year-old Portuguese player moves on loan from Nottingham Forest. He can operate as a winger and also as an attacking midfielder
João Carvalho, a 23-year-old Portuguese attacking midfielder, becomes the fourteenth signing of UD Almería for the 2020/21 season, without counting Maras and Fran Villalba. He moves on loan from Nottingham Forest, competing in the EFL Championship, and the Rojiblanco club will have an option to buy at the end of this campaign.
He is a footballer with key traits who is going to bring more attacking weapons for Almeria. The right-footed new signing can play as a left-winger or central midfielder. He is a high-quality player who not only maintains fluidity in his game but also manages the ball brilliantly with confidence. He plays a vital role to help his team achieve success through effective teamwork due to his tactical awareness.
João Antonio Antunes Carvalho was born in the Portuguese town of Castanheira de Pêra on 9th March, 1997 and started his football career in the ranks of Benfica, eventually making the leap to the senior team. In the 2018/19 season, he signed a contract with Nottingham Forest, a club with whom he played 67 games in the last two seasons with a tally of six goals and providing nine assists. João has clearly made an impact as international from Under-15 to Under-21 level with Portugal.
