Nottingham Forest forked out £1.2m on agents’ fees in the last two transfer windows - making them among the lowest spenders in the Championship.
Eight clubs spent less than the Reds on intermediary and agents’ fees from February 1, 2019 to January 31, 2020, according to the Football Association.
That period includes last summer’s transfer window - when Forest brought in 12 new additions as Sabri Lamouchi took charge - and January, when three new faces arrived, along with the early recall of Tyler Walker from his loan spell at Lincoln City.
Last summer, Sammy Ameobi joined while Martin O’Neill was still at the helm, and was followed by Tiago Silva, Yuri Ribeiro, Alfa Semedo, Albert Adomah, Arijanet Muric, Rafa Mir, Samba Sow, Carl Jenkinson, Brice Samba, Chema Rodriguez and John Bostock.
In January, Gaetan Bong, Nuno Da Costa and Adama Diakhaby all came in.
Stoke City racked up the most in fees, according to the annual figures produced by the FA, splashing out £5.6m.
Luton Town spent the least at £298,140, with the Hatters, Charlton Athletic, Barnsley, Millwall, Hull City, Wigan Athletic, Blackburn Rovers and Reading shelling out less than Forest.
In total, £49,299,123 was spent by Championship sides during that time frame.
