“I spoke with the coach (Daniel Farke) and he told me the plan and what he will do with me in the team. It’s a very good project for me to sign here.
“From the first moment, I was really excited to come here. I said to my agent to sign as fast as possible here. It’s a very good step for me.
“(Last year) was my first professional season. I had good stats and we won the cup in Greece. It was a very good season for me and I hope to continue like this here in the Premier League.”

“In his age group, Christos is probably one of the most exciting offensive players across European football. He’s a young winger with lots of pace and potential.
“He’s in a good physical condition and has been there delivering with many goals and assists for a big club in Greece in PAOK.
“Of course, we will give him the time to improve and adapt to English football, but we have a player with a lot of potential and a great personality.”
