Nottingham Forest duo Felipe and Danilo are clearly huge fans of Keylor Navas.
The trio all arrived at the Reds in January and have been a key part of Steve Cooper’s side in Forest’s bid for survival. Navas has been ever-present, while Felipe has been another mainstay in defence and Danilo has also claimed a midfield berth in recent weeks.
It was a coup when Forest were able to land the experienced Navas, who had spent the first half of the season as Gianluigi Donnarumma’s backup at PSG. The three-time Champions League winner swooped in to replace the injured Dean Henderson in goal and has already produced several heroic performances for the Reds.
