Banza is in Thessaloniki
Simon Banza landed in Thessaloniki on the evening of Friday, September 11, to finish his move to PAOK (1)(2)(3)(4). The 30-year-old striker was delayed. He missed his scheduled flight earlier on Friday (3). PAOK's search for attacking reinforcement ends with his arrival (1). Banza arrives from Al Jazira (4).
The derby is Sunday
Aris at home, Sunday, September 20:00 CEST. PAOK sit fifth on 6 points from 3 games, with a goal difference of +3 (W W L). Panathinaikos beat you 3–1 in your last league game on September 6. Banza's arrival gives you a new option up front for it.
Fan reactions
The mood on r/PAOK is about the new stadium, with a press conference thread titled "THE NEW HOME OF PAOK" pulling the most attention (link). Banza's arrival is the other thing fans are chewing on. Supporters see the striker as the answer to a forward line that has needed beefing up.
