The signing of Tasos Bakasetas is shaping up to be one of APOEL’s most significant moves this season. The 33-year-old Greek international attacking midfielder was signed in the final days of the summer transfer window, following coordinated efforts by Zisis Vryzas and Nikos Papadopoulos, with the aim of strengthening the “blue-and-yellows’” creativity and attacking play.
His statistics, after all, speak to his impact. In just seven appearances with the “blue-and-yellows,” the 33-year-old captain of the Greek national team has scored five goals and provided one assist, already establishing himself as one of the team’s most important offensive weapons.
Most importantly, however, APOEL appears to have found the player it was looking for to play just behind the striker. Bakasetas brings stability, creativity, and finishing ability to the “10” position, and his performance so far has justified the decision of those who brought him to Cyprus.
