Over the course of the summer transfer window, Nottingham Forest bid farewell to a host of first-team players as Sabri Lamouchi looked to reshape the squad left at his disposal by Martin O'Neill.

A host of attacking players departed the City Ground, with Apostolos Vellios, Daryl Murphy, Jason Cummings and Hillal Soudani all moved onto pastures new, leaving Forest somewhat short in attack.

Lewis Grabban and Rafa Mir are currently the club's only out-and-out striking options, with Lamouchi previously admitting that he was frustrated at not being able to bring in another striker.

Soudani was the club's first departure in the summer - the Algerian forward signed for Greek side Olympiacos, despite spending just one year on Trentside.

The 31-year-old signed for Forest from Dinamo Zagreb last summer and he scored two goals in six league games for the Reds under Aitor Karanka, but endured a lengthy spell on the sidelines after picking up an injury against Burton Albion.

And before getting even a look-in in pre-season under Lamouchi, Soudani was soon on his way out of the exit door, signing for Olympiacos.

Here, we take a look at how Soudani has performed for Olympiacos since his move from the East Midlands to Greece...

Soudani has seemingly hit the ground running for Olympiacos, establishing himself as a regular for Pedro Martins' side.

The Algerian attacker has made five appearances for the Greek side this season, four coming in the Greek Super League, and one of those coming in the UEFA Champions League against FC Krasnodar.

Similarly to Forest under Karanka last season, Olympiacos tend to deploy a 4-2-3-1 system, which sees Soudani play anywhere behind the striker, but mostly on the right flank.

The attacker has been impressive in front of goal for the Greek side this term, scoring two goals in five appearances thus far.

The forward has registered 14 shots on target, almost three shots per game, so he could well be disappointed with his lack of finishing touch this term.

Soudani has been well involved with the action this season, having 24 touches inside the box which suggests that he could have been a really useful player for Lamouchi this term.

Whether he played up top in back-up to Grabban, or out wide to add competition to Joe Lolley and Albert Adomah, the Algerian clearly finds himself in dangerous positions in the final third of the pitch.

Despite only being 5-foot-8 too, Soudani has also won 75% of his aerial duels, which suggests that he could have performed the lone striker role for Forest really well on his own with his impressive hold-up play.

He has linked up with his teammates really well too, accruing a pass success rate of 82.3% so far this season, and whilst Forest are skating on thin ice if Grabban picks up an injury, it could have been avoided.
