Nottingham Forest head of data and analytic recruitment George Syrianos has insisted that the club will "continue to act sensibly and prudently" in the transfer window after a busy start to the summer.
The 34-year-old arrived at the City Ground last summer after Dane Murphy was appointed as the club's chief executive and installed a new recruitment set-up. Syrianos had previously been head of analytics in his homeland at VfB Stuttgart.
That exposure to the Bundesliga has become particularly apparent already this summer, with half of their additions arriving directly from the German top-flight. Forest club-record signing Taiwo Awoniyi was the first signing last month but has since been followed by Moussa Niakhaté and Omar Richards.
