Description:

Efthimis Koulouris joined PAOK youth academy in 2009, as part of the extensive gathering of talented children organized back then. From an early age, he has been considered to be a very good and efficient forward. Together with junior PAOK squads he won the Greek U17 and U20 championships, along with other very talented players such as Panagiotis Deligiannidis and Stelios Pozoglou. He made his professional debut on 13 February 2014 in a Greek Football Cup fixture Apollon Smyrni, in which he scored twice. Almost two months later he made his league debut against Asteras Tripoli. He is also a regular youth Greek international and currently represents “Ethniki” U19 team.

Quotes:

“His dream of a football career became more intense when he moved to Thessaloniki for PAOK and became a regular at Toumba as a ball boy in 2009-10. At night, when he closed his eyes, all images going through his head were football related. Mainly goals and celebrations, as he no longer featured as midfielder. He was born to spearhead the attack. And his idol is none other than Zlatan Ibrahimovic.”
