Nottingham Forest have signed Pele from French side AS Monaco.
Judilson Mamadu Tuncará Gomes, known as Pele, joins on loan until the end of the season.
The midfielder moved to Monaco in the summer after helping Portuguese club Rio Ave to fifth in the table last season, qualifying for the Europa League.
He has made just eight appearances in Ligue 1 this season.
Forest are also interested in signing defender Alexander Milosevic, according to Sky sources.
Milosevic is available on a free transfer after leaving AIK Fotboll at the end of December.
The Sweden international, who has five caps, won the Swedish league title last season in the second spell with the club.
Forest are ninth in the Championship and are four points off the play-off places.
