Sheffield United boss Ruben Selles spoke to The Yorkshire Post about the use of AI in recruitment and potential outings at Bramall Lane.

00:00A lot has been made of the fact that the club is taking a really modern approach and very data-driven approach to recruitment and scouting.
00:07Is that something you're really in favour of and looking to embrace and sort of use to your advantage?
00:12Well, as I said, I think we need to understand the concept of the EI impacting our lives, not only the game.
00:21I think we need to understand that there are tools there to be more efficient and that's how we need to look at it.
00:27So there are not tools that are going to tell us what to do.
00:30There are tools that are going to give us some advice and point some direction that we need to understand, interpret it and then make decisions from that together with some other tools or related with the football.
00:42For us, it's going to be always the main thing, it's going to be always the football eye, the way that we see the game, the way that we see and identify the players.
00:49Obviously, we want those marginal games to be on our side and then we need to work with a different technology that will give us that.
00:57Yeah, definitely. And speaking of another modern aspect of the financial market and recruitment, obviously, you know, financial fair play and the need for a year after the parachute payments.
01:06Do you think there's going to have to be some balancing with the squad this summer in terms of perhaps some players having to go for others to be able to come in?
01:13Well, for the moment, we are in a good place where we are and we have a very strong squad. We are already assessing the squad and the things that we need.
01:23There is room for us actually to get the players that we potentially want and I have not seen any other reality.
01:33I don't know what is going to happen tomorrow, how it's going to change, how the market is going to evolve because it's always fluid.
01:39But I think we are in a good place and we have room to be in even a better place.
