Efthimis Koulouris’ fine start to the 2018/19 season could earn him the biggest move of his career.

The 22-year-old striker is on loan at Atromitos from PAOK, and has scored eight goals in nine games in the Greek top flight – 11 in 13 in all competitions.

As a result, Koulouris is starting to attract attention from outside his home country, with O Jogo reporting that Watford and Sporting Lisbon are going head-to-head to sign the five-time Greek international in the New Year.

O Jogo reports that Watford have been keeping a close eye on Koulouris for a number of months. It is understood that the 6ft centre-forward is due to return to PAOK in January, and they will demand a transfer fee of around £6.6 million.

The Hertfordshire club have enjoyed a fine start to the campaign and Koulouris would have to battle Andre Gray and Troy Deeney for a place in Javi Gracia’s starting XI should he move to Vicarage Road.
