He hasn’t done anything important for a long time, the question is whether and when he will be able to threaten the dominance of Olympiacos, but if nothing else, Aris decided to build an attractive team and enter the next Greek championship campaign with a substantial boost. After Andre Gray, who arrived from Watford with the task of replacing Aboubakar Kamara (he moved to the giant from Piraeus), the club from Thessaloniki made official the cooperation with another well-known offensive player. They brought in Gervinho!LOOKING 🤩IN 🟡 AND ⚫️!#ARISFC22_23#GERVINHO#ARISFCTRANSFERS pic.twitter.com/efzRwa033v— ARIS F.C. / ΠΑΕ ΑΡΗΣ (@ARIS__FC) July 16, 2022 The former Ivory Coast national team member arrived at his new address on Friday, underwent medical examinations, and then on Saturday Aris confirmed that the fast-footed footballer is their latest signing for now. They brought him as a free agent, after parting ways with Trabzon after only two goals in nine games, but also with some kind of contribution to winning the title.Gervinho signed a one-year contract with the Warriors, with the option of an extension for another 12 months, and what is particularly interesting is the salary of the 35-year-old footballer. The Greeks write that the former member of Arsenal, Roma and Parma in Aris will earn between 400,000 and 450,000 euros at the annual level. Far less than what he is used to in his career.As Gervinho most often plays on the right wing, it means that his direct competitor for a place in the first 11 will be Matteo Garcia. The Argentinian played 35 games in all competitions last season, but now he will have a hell of a rival for the right sideline offensive position.##NAJAVA_MECA_6508352##Apart from Gray and Gervinho, Aris also brought Pape Cheikh Diop from Lyon, but they want more reinforcements. The next target of coach Herman Burgos – the Argentinian who was once Diego Simeone’s right-hand man at Atletico Madrid – is Santi Mina. The Celta attacker is plagued by private problems; he was written off in Vigo due to a trial due to sexual harassment, no club in Spain will hire him for that very reason, and Burgos offers him salvation in Thessaloniki.
