Scouting Report: Konstantinos Tsimikas

Yesterday, Konstantinos Tsimikas was announced as Liverpool's first signing of the summer 2020 transfer window, the first ever transfer window in which the Reds have been reigning Premier League champions. Liverpool agreed to pay £11.75 million for the Olympiakos man after failing to negotiate a fee for Norwich City's Jamal Lewis.

He's already impressed against the likes of Bayern Munich and Arsenal in the Champions League and the Europa League this season, and he's been brought in to provide rotation at the left back position for the consistently magnificent Andrew Robertson, but just who is Kostas Tsimikas?

Tsimikas arrived at Olympiakos from Panserraikos for €35,000 in 2014, and he didn't take long to make an impact. He impressed in the 2014/15 UEFA Youth League for Vasilis Vouzas's U-19 side, starting at left back as the Erythrolefki finished ahead of Juventus and Malmö before being eliminated by Shakhtar Donetsk in the Round of 16.
