Greek-Armenian left back Aventis Aventisian has joined Eredivisie club Go Ahead Eagles on a 2 and a half year contract.

The 19 year old joins the club from Greek Super League giants PAOK. Born in Thessealoniki, Aventis is eligible to play for both Greece and Armenian national teams at the senior level.

Aventis Aventisian is looking forward to his introduction to Dutch football. “Big clubs, big league, big names,” he says. “Given the way of playing, the Netherlands is one of the best countries to play football. The attractive and attacking way of playing suits me as a player. I am an attacking full-back who likes to touch the ball and therefore expect the Dutch competition to be good for my development,” Aventisian said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
