Description:
Leandros Lillis is the son of former Alki chairman Nicos Lillis. He is regarded as one of the most talented youngsters in Cyprus at the moment. He made his professional debut for Alki Larnaca at the age of 16, on 12th May 2012 in a league fixture against Apollon, in which he replaced Ciprian Tanasa after 58 minutes. This season he became a first team regular and a real star of Kostas Kaiafas side. He has obviously attracted interest from clubs from leagues much more competitive than that of Cyprus – he was already on trial with Genoa, but Fulham and Monaco are also showing an interest. It seems to be just a matter of time before he moves abroad to a bigger club. He is a regular Cyprus youth international – at first U-17, while currently being at the U-19 level.
Quotes:
“He is obviously a player that interests and is a young Cypriot talent that has caught the attention of clubs from abroad.”
(Andreas Sofocleous – AEL chairman)
Football Talent Scout potential rating:
Country-scale star with top European club ambition.
