Omar El Kantouri says PAOK favorite and hails Konstantelias as Greece's 'little Neymar

Former PAOK striker Omar El Kantouri, now coach of the club's U19 side, told Belgian daily La Dernière Heure that PAOK is the clear favourite to defeat Anderlecht in the upcoming Europa League tie. He praised the team's attacking football, experienced squad and the passionate support of the fans at the Toumba Stadium.

El Kantouri also singled out 22‑year‑old forward Giannis Konstantelias as the biggest Greek talent, describing him as a "little Neymar" and noting that PAOK has rejected offers exceeding €20 million for the player. He reflected on his own career, including his years in Belgium (2006‑2008) and the many injuries that limited his playing time.
