Georgios Samaras has signed to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, leaving West Bromwich Albion after a poor season on the bench.
Samaras only made eight substitute appearances without scoring a goal for the English club and was one of a few players to be cut during the January transfer window.
The 29-year-old secured a deal with the AFC Champions League runners up for a whopping 14 million euros over the next three years.
Samaras is already training with the club, and is settling in well.
Al Hilal has 40 domestic titles to its name, as well as six Asian championships, and seven Arab championships.
Five Greeks sign in January transfer window
Along with Samaras’ signing, another five Greeks secured transfers during January.
Avraam Papadopoulos, Giannis Fetfatzidis, Tasos Donis, Panayotis Vlachodimos and Apostolos Vellios all made movements, all but one signing to European teams.
Avraam Papadopoulos was the only Greek to sign to a Chinese outfit, Shanghai Greenland FC, leaving club Trabzonspor. The Aris Thessaloniki and Olympiakos player is reportedly the first Greek to make the move to China.
Both Giannis Fetfatzidis and Tasos Donis joined Italian teams, Chievo Verona and Sassuolo Calcio respectively. Fetfatzidis had a great spell at Genoa but injury clouded his most recent stint.
Vellios joins Denmark outfit, Vestsjælland and Vlachodimos moves to France for Nimes Olympique.
