#1 He has played in England before
During his time with Bayer Leverkusen, the Greek defender was sent on loan to Fulham in the summer of 2014.
He was surprisingly a constant figure for the Cottagers in the Championships with 38 appearances whilst also featuring in four FA Cup games.
Although he didn't make any notable impact with Fulham during that corresponding season, as they were nearly on the verge of relegation, his previous exposure in English football could help Stafylidis to quickly get used to the conditions in the Premier League.
