Anderlecht coach: PAOK are slight favourites
Vitor Bruno said it plainly ahead of the Europa League third qualifying round tie: "They are slight favourites" (4). The Anderlecht coach was referring to your team, and the first leg is at Toumba. Anderlecht arrive with newcomer Oliver Antman in the squad. Bruno would not reveal whether the winger starts: "Whether he will start, you will see" (5).
PAOK bid for Allsvenskan top scorer Robbie Ure
Your club have tabled an offer for Sirius striker Robbie Ure, the 22-year-old who finished as Allsvenskan's top scorer (1) (2). The competition is real. Sevilla and Lorient have also submitted proposals for the Scottish forward (2). Ure's goalscoring record in Sweden has drawn attention across Europe, and PAOK are pushing to win the race.
Giannoulis return moving closer
Dimitrios Giannoulis is nearing a return to PAOK from Augsburg. The Greek international left-back is the centrepiece of an ambitious window, with the deal expected to involve an eight-figure fee. His arrival would likely trigger Greg Taylor's departure back to Celtic. Meanwhile new midfielder Tom Luce has already joined training and called the move exciting.
Zivkovic a doubt for Anderlecht
Your captain is racing to be fit. Andrija Zivkovic has a knock and is doubtful for the first leg against Anderlecht. The tie is a tough draw for PAOK, with the Belgian side presenting a serious obstacle in the third qualifying round (3). The Europa Conference League is on the line.
