Angelopoulos: “Happy about the arrival of Fournier – One of the biggest transfers we have made”

Evan Fournier is currently represented by Olympiakos.

The team owners, George and Panagiotis Angelopoulos they spoke before the presentation began and once again expressed their joy, that the French superstar came to our country for the “red and whites”.

What they said in detail:

George Angelopoulos: “We welcome him Evan Fournier. We are happy for the arrival of this world-class athlete, he has almost 10 thousand points in the NBA. They are among the biggest names that have come to Europe and Greece. We are excited for his arrival. The statement he made in Belgrade shows a lot about the Olympiakos organization, when after a defeat he said he would like to join the team. This is the strength of Olympiakos, this is what we have been building for so many years and we welcome it».

Panagiotis Angelopoulos: “It is one of the biggest transfers we have made. He is a world-class basketball player, a strong personality to achieve our goals. From his statements that I read, he made a reference to the 2010 final in Paris and that since then he had seen the madness of the world. Our team has continuity and has been building its name and legacy in European basketball over the years. The negotiations were brief. We have negotiated with big names, not all of them came. Fournier was humble and seemed to want to come to us. And we approached this transfer so that it ends soon with a good result. It fills us with pride for what we have achieved at Olympiakos over the years, it shows us that what we build lasts. It’s not just the headlines. We’ve read incredible things all summer about not winning the title. I agree that titles count, but Fournier at 16 saw something that was left of him and wanted to come to us. This fills us with pride, nothing else».
