Gustavo Nunes joins Brentford
“I am very excited that we have managed to sign Gustavo,” said head coach Thomas Frank. “It is another good signing; we have fought with other clubs.
“He is a winger who can go past players one-on-one. He is direct and he can create.
“Gustavo has a lot of potential and of course we need to maximise that in every aspect. He needs time to settle, but this is a very exciting signing.”
Born in southern Brazil, Nunes joined Grêmio's youth set-up in 2021, aged 15.
He impressed in the Brazilian Under-17 Championship, leading Grêmio to the final of the competition.
The following year, he was part of the undefeated title campaign in the Under-20 State Championship and played an important role in the side’s journey to the final of the Brazilian Cup in that age group.
He made his first-team debut for Grêmio in February 2024, coming on as a first-half substitute and providing an assist in a 1-1 Série A draw with São Luiz.
He scored his first goal six days later, netting the opener in a 6-2 victory over Santa Cruz.
In total, Nunes made 20 appearances for Grêmio in the Brazilian top flight, scoring three goals and providing one assist.
