Omonia was looking for solutions up front following the departures of Jovetić and Ryan Maé and brought in Lois Dionis to bolster its attack.
The choice of the French striker was initially met with skepticism by the fans, mainly due to his age, his previous stint in Turkey’s second division, and his match fitness.
In his first few games, however, Diony began to prove his worth. He faced a tough challenge in Kazakhstan, while against Lincoln, he was the one who made the difference, scoring the only goal of the match.
Beyond the goal, he was strong in one-on-one situations, held onto the ball, and tried to link up with his teammates. As time goes on and he gets into better shape and develops greater chemistry with the team, he is expected to contribute even more.
