Description:

Georgi started his career in Cherno More and he’s one of the best “products” of this club in the past few years. He made his debut in the first team at the age of 17 and in the season 2013/13 he was the star of the club and, mostly because of his saves the Varna club stayed in the first league of Bulgaria. Despite of huge interest from the western clubs, the goalkeeper will rather stay in Cherno More for the net season. He’s regularly capped to the youth national teams of Bulgaria and one of the strongest candidates to change Nikolay Mihaylov as the number one in the first team in the future.
