Ozdoev farewell and Elustondo trains with PAOK

Ozdoev says goodbye

Magomed Ozdoev is leaving. The Russian midfielder posted a farewell message to PAOK on Tuesday, confirming his time at the club is over (1). No destination yet, but the tone is final. Ozdoev was a regular presence in the squad and his departure leaves a gap in midfield ahead of the new season.

Elustondo gets to work

Aritz Elustondo trained with the squad for the first time on Tuesday at the camp in the Netherlands (3) (4). The Spaniard, signed from Real Sociedad, looked sharp in the footage the club put out. Early days, but the 32-year-old centre-back slots straight into the rebuilding project.
