Jair Cunha is a 21-year-old Brazilian centre-back who currently plays for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. Born in Orlândia, he began his professional career in Brazil before moving to England. He has already won the Under-20 South American Championship and the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.
Cunha is a strong and composed centre-back, known for his aerial ability and reading of the game.
