Nottingham Forest midfielder Orel Mangala feels he has become a “more complete player” as a result of adapting to the challenges of the Premier League.
The 24-year-old linked up with the Reds in the summer, making the move from Stuttgart. He has been in and out of the team over the course of the season - with injuries hampering him somewhat - but has now made 20 appearances for Steve Cooper’s side.
He admits the physicality of English football took some getting used to. However, using data to compare himself with his Forest teammates allowed the Belgian to develop.
