    Striker Georgios Samaras (Heraklion, 21/2/1985) will defend the Real Zaragoza jersey until the end of the 2016/2017 season. The Greek international player arrives at the discipline of the Aragonese team after having finalized his contractual relation with Lightning OKC of the United States.


    With the arrival of Giorgios Samaras, the zaragocista team gives a quality plus to their attacking line, thanks to the incorporation of a contrasting player in the international football scene, with a successful career carved in first class clubs. Samaras stands out for its imposing physique (1.91 in height), which accompanies a remarkable speed, quality, stride and ability to overflow and imbalance. He can play as a center forward, although he has been acting for most of his career as an extreme left.


    The new player of the Aragonese set began his professional career in the ranks of the Dutch Heerenveen, where he played for four seasons. He later joined the Manchester City squad for the Premier League, where he played for two seasons, before joining Glasgow Celtic. In the Scottish set he developed most of his career, six seasons, in which he became a fundamental pillar of the team and won four League titles, two Cup and one League Cup.


    After its passage by Scotland, has militated in the West Bromwich Albion, the Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia and the Ray OKC of the United States. Samaras, who has been international with the selection of Greece in a total of eighty-one occasions, having played two final phases of the World Cup and two other Eurocopa, joins the Real Zaragoza to give a quality jump to his Front for the remainder of the season.
