"Murillo is going to be a leading contender for Chelsea, Mick Brown told Football Insider. He doesn't always look the part, he's not particularly tall and he's got a bit of a stocky frame, but he's very, very effective on the ground and in the air. He brings a stability and aggression to the Forest team which has made him a massive player for them in the heart of their defence with the players around him."
"From a Chelsea point of view, that's the type of defender they need, somebody who's authoritative, commanding and looks like he enjoys defending. Plus, he's very comfortable on the ball which makes him ideal for the way they play. From what I hear, they are big admirers of his and if they're looking to bring in a centre-back when the window opens, he will be one of the first they look at."
Chelsea are interested in signing 23-year-old Nottingham Forest defender Murillo, who is highly rated in the Premier League and has a bright future. Murillo has shown quality at Nottingham Forest and combines stability and aggression with effectiveness on the ground and in the air. He is not particularly tall and has a stocky frame but is comfortable on the ball, fitting Chelsea's playing style. Enzo Maresca wants an authoritative, commanding centre-back. Chelsea have had defensive injuries and vulnerabilities, so January reinforcements are likely, though extracting Murillo from Forest could be difficult.
