PAOK winger Kiril Despodov is the favorite for Player of the Season at his club, but also in the entire Greek Super League. This is what the journalist Dimitris Drakos from the website flash.gr claims.
The Bulgarian has the most serious competition in the face of the 27-year-old Argentine forward Ezequiel Ponce, who, like him, is a rookie in Greece, but has scored 13 goals in 25 games.
AEK and PAOK are two of the four contenders for the Super League title, but at the same time they also possess some of the most talented goalscorers this season. These are Ezequiel Ponce and Despodov, who have achieved something that does not happen often. And that makes them prime contenders for the Player of the Year award.

The 27-year-old Despodov, who also arrived in the summer at the “double-headed eagles”, scored 10 goals in the championship, which proved to be very important for PAOK. The Bulgarian and Ponce are the only footballers who have more than ten goals in this year’s championship, without taking a single penalty.
The goals of the two until the end of the season will be decisive in the following derbies, the text also says. But there is one very important clarification – it is very likely that the best player of the season in Greece will be from the new champions of the country, so even if one of the two ends up with a greater goal asset, the lack of a title may prevent him from take the individual prize. Lazio and West Ham-watched striker Fotis Ioannidis of Panathinaikos and team-mate Anastasios Bakasetas are also shortlisted for the year-end award.
The seventh round of the play-off group for the Greek championship will be played today, with PAOK away at last Lamia and this is a serious chance to close the gap to the top. The two consecutive matches without a win dropped the team from Thessaloniki to third place with 67 points, 5 from AEK and 4 from Panathinaikos.
