Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov has joined Greek club PAOK on a one-year deal.
“PAOK FC announce the signing of Dimitar Berbatov who penned a deal with the “Double-Headed Eagle” until 30.6.2016,” read a statement on the club’s official website.
The 34-year-old, who has turned out for Premier League clubs Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham, spent last season with Ligue 1 side Monaco, netting 18 goals in 53 matches, before being released by the French club.
In total, Berbatov has scored 274 goals in 635 appearances across all clubs in his illustrious career, with 48 goals in 78 national caps to his name.
Berbatov arrives in Greece with an impressive CV, having lifted two Premier League titles, two Community Shields, a Fifa Club World Cup and the Bulgarian Cup, while he was also crowned as the Premier League’s Golden Boot winner in 2010/11 with 20 goals.
PAOK will hope to utilise Berbatov’s experience to improve their third-place finish in the Greek League last season, having last won their domestic League in the 1984/85 season.
