In the endless soap opera Mostafa Mohamed, it was said that the Egyptian striker wanted to join AS Saint-Etienne because he is convinced that Claude Puel will allow him to take a step that could open the doors to the Premier League for him. in the future. It must be said that the former manager of Southampton and Leicester has experience in the best league on the planet. But if, this evening, one of its old tracks has signed up with an English club, Puel has nothing to do with it, even if it is not for lack of trying!
Loaned until the end of the season
Last summer, the manager of the Greens targeted the Greek Giannis Giannoulis to strengthen the position of left side. Not satisfied with Miguel Trauco and Gabriel Silva, whom he deemed not secure enough defensively, Puel wanted to recruit the player from PAOK Salonika. But the very limited finances of ASSE forced him to change his mind, to experiment before putting his trust in the Peruvian, whose progress he praises.
Giannoulis started the season with PAOK but he will continue it in the Championship! Norwich, leader of the English Second Division, has just announced his loan until the end of the season. Approval will only take place after obtaining a work permit, but the conditions for obtaining it have been greatly reduced and this should not pose any problems.
📝 Norwich City are delighted to announce the loan signing of left-back Dimitris Giannoulis from PAOK!
The Greek international will link-up with the Canaries subject to the confirmation of a work permit.
