PAOK strengthens squad with Tom Louchet and William Mikelbrencis

PAOK is set to sign 23-year-old midfielder Tom Louchet from OGC Nice. The clubs reached an agreement on Thursday, July 30, for a transfer fee of approximately 3 million euros, with the player expected to sign a three-year contract. Louchet, who can play as an 'eight' or as a winger, is scheduled to arrive in Thessaloniki on Sunday, August 2, to undergo medical examinations and finalize the deal. The move aims to register him for the European matches against Anderlecht.

In addition to Louchet, PAOK has reached an agreement to sign 22-year-old French defender William Mikelbrencis from Hamburg. The right-back arrives as a free agent to replace Jorge Sanchez. Mikelbrencis, a French U21 international, recorded 26 appearances and 4 assists in the Bundesliga last season. He is currently finalizing travel logistics to Thessaloniki to complete medical tests and formalize his contract, following a successful negotiation period between the player and the club.
