Veloso during his second stint as a Genoa player
The Portuguese defensively minded midfielder has quite a résumé. He had enjoyed full seasons of football in Sporting Lisbon, Genoa and Dynamo Kyiv before he returned to the Genovese club in 2016 and until his release on July.

Even though he has faced numerous injuries throughout his career, Veloso has been a Portugal International since 2007, earning over 50 caps and appearing to 2 World Cups and 2 European Championships. The 32-years-old has recently attracted interest from a variety of clubs, including the Greek Olympiakos, PAOK, and AEK and Bologna.
Midfielder: Jan Kirchhoff
Kirchhoff has been struggling with injuries in his career but, once he is fit, he can provide depth in the midfield area
Being only 27 years old, the German is sure to find a club soon. Kirchhoff has played for Bayern Munich, Mainz, Schalke and contributed a lot to Sunderland's avoidance of relegation in 2016. He was released from the club after being sidelined due to injury for the second part of the 2016-2017 season. In fact, injuries have ravaged many of his seasons so far in his career.
He was then offered a trial to Bolton Wanderers and left the club when his contract expired last June. Supposing he is fit, Kirchhoff can be a valuable addition to the midfield, given his age and his technical qualities.

About the author
Bill Papargyriou
I am a graduate of English Language and Literature of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and I am currently completing my MA studies in Modern Journalism. I am a huge fan of European Football, especially Calcio.
As far as my work experience is concerned, I was a senior writer and one of the founding members of a Greek website called "sportsdaily.gr". This website was devoted to European football and especially news about the greatest European clubs. I was in fact solely responsible for Serie A. As a result, in the nearly 2 years of the website running live, I had written over 2,000 pieces of match analysis, match previews as well as news in general.
Lastly, I have been working as a sports journalist for "Yellow Radio 92,8", a radio station based in Thessaloniki, Greece which deals with Aris Thessaloniki FC, one of the greatest and historic clubs in Greece. As part of my role, I conduct research on Aris' next opponents reviewing their strengths and weaknesses.
