WANDERERS have signed Olympiakos' highly-rated Greek international Stylianos Giannakopoulos.
The 28-year-old agreed a three-year deal says the official website www.bwfc.co.uk and will sign for Wanderers on July 1 after turning down a renewed offer from the Greek champions.
The Greek midfielder scored 13 goals in 28 league outings last season and has rplayed for Greece 17 times, scoring three goals.
Allardyce told www.bwfc.co.uk "Stylianos is a highly-rated player in his homeland and is looking forward to playing in the Premiership with us. I have been tracking his career for quite some time and I am confident that he will add a new dimension to our squad.
"His main attribute remains his ability to make late dynamic runs into the penalty area and his flair to shoot accurately from range. He is an attacking midfielder who knows how to score goals.
"Last season, he scored 13 goals and helped Olympiakos to their seventh successive league title. He has done it at the highest level in Europe in the Champions League and he is relishing the prospect of playing alongside our top line players in the Premiership."
