He leads Brenda to the playoffs and has been targeted by a team from Greece
GREEKS ABROAD
Odysseas Velanas with nine goals and five assists so far in 29 matches in B ‘Holland with the Brenda jersey leads his team to the promotion playoffs and has already been targeted by Greece.
Last summer, Odysseus Velanas chose to leave Utrecht to go to Brenda and play in the second division of the Netherlands to get a full season on his feet that would definitely do better through the games.
And as it turned out, his choice was 100% correct as a few months later the 24-year-old winger from Greece leads Brenda to the promotion playoffs in the first division, while with his appearances he has already caught the eye of the Super League and is not excluded next summer to leave Brenda to be repatriated. A scenario that could fall on the table in the event that the Dutch club did not get the promotion for the big category despite the fact that Velanas signed a two-year contract with Brenda last year, which expires in the summer of 2023.
So far, Velanas is the first scorer of his team, although extreme, as in 29 league matches he has 9 goals and 5 assists and is in the first place of the relevant category in both lists. At the same time he has played in four Cup games where he also has an assist.
In total, this year in the championship and the Cup, the Greek winger has played 33 games, having scored nine goals and given six assists.
These appearances, as we have already written, have attracted teams from the Super League, in the past OFI had also been involved, as well as some clubs from the Netherlands that are examining the case of the summer transfer window.
What will happen, however, will depend on whether Brenda manages to play in the playoffs and from there get the promotion to the Eredivisie. The only thing for sure is that this year of Velana was the best in his career so far in the stadiums of the Netherlands.
