The Dutch Eredivisie has always been a great breeding ground for producing talented footballers, and this continues today, even though the league is not at the level it once was. Ajax’s amazing UEFA Champions League run last season reinforces this. A series of young and up and coming Greeks have found their feet in the Netherlands after enjoying great seasons at their respective clubs.

Lazaros Lamprou (Fortuna Sittard)

The 21-year-old winger on loan from PAOK enjoyed a season to remember in the Netherlands at Fortuna Sittard. He made a total of 24 appearances across all competitions for the club and emerged as a key player as he was the main attacking threat. He scored seven goals and notched eights assists in the league. This led to interest from clubs in Portugal, Belgium, and the Netherlands, but he recently signed a new contract with PAOK as he eyes a spot in the first team.
