It was claimed that Giannoulis is ‘extremely likely’ to make a move to the Premier League this summer from PAOK Thessaloniki with Newcastle in the driving seat to sign the left-back.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Newcastle fans who were quick to share their thoughts on this latest update.

Premier league now is it…

The 24-year-old Greek left-back, who is currently valued at £4.05 million, has a total of 194 club appearances under his belt in which he has managed to score three goals and provide 30 assists along the way (per Transfermarkt).
A dead club in a league where you’re not allowed to challenge the top 6. Not for me thanks.

Now that this update has been relayed onto Twitter, this opened the door for lots of Newcastle fans to share their thoughts and views on the matter.
Some Newcastle fans were responding to the post with their suggestions that Giannoulis would indeed be moving to the Premier League this summer, but not necessarily to Newcastle.
Welcome to West Ham.

Do you think Giannoulis will end up at Newcastle this summer?
Yes
No
Probably be heavyweights such as Burnley or Brighton.

It appears that half of these Newcastle fans don’t seem too interested in the possibility of the full-back joining the Toon this summer. Whereas the other half don’t think he’ll even make the move at all and would instead be more likely to move to another Premier League club.
