Perkins has tended to play a lot further forward for Forest than Perry. Usually in an attacking role either in the ‘10’ position or wide right behind the striker.
Still pretty combative and industrious like Perry but perhaps with a bit more creativity and composure in front of goal.
A good start to the window

Left footed which is good. Maybe if KN plays his preferred (so he said) 4 2 3 1, then Perkins on the left of a 3?
But Transfermsrkt say he's been playing as a defensive mid fielder in last few games so perhaps an all rounder.
