In a press conference, the coach of the Greek club, László Bölöni, confided on this arrival: “We had to bring a recovering midfielder with Niasse, who can also play the role of central defender, but he is a recoverer which brings to our club many possibilities. Sankharé, who is a six-eight, plus eight, can bring us verticality, his arrival completely satisfies us. “
