Vance Sikov in Olympiakos
The transfer period is coming soon and again Vance Sikov is the main name mentioned by all Greek medias. This time he's mentioned as a reinforcement for the defensive line of Olympiakos. In the last couple of months Vance Sikov played for Pobeda from Prilep after his scandalous leaving of his former club Skoda Xanti.This is third time when Shikov is connected to Olympiakos but this time it seems like his transfer is done deal. Even his manager confirmed that he is very close to a transfer in the Greek club.
The vice president of Olympiakos, Mr. Luvaris was in Macedonia couple of days ago and he had talks with Vance Sikov and hi managers and they have arranged his transfer and if everything goes by the plans, he'll be promoted as a new player of Olympiakos on 26th of December. In the meantime Olympiakos have to sell one of their foreign players because at the moment they already have 5 foreigners in their squad.
This summer after the scandalous leaving of Skoda Xanti and their parting with negotion of FIFA, Vance Sikov had a trial in Birmingham and Dundee United but after failing to sign a contract with the clubs, he decided to sign a contract with the Macedonian club Pobeda from Prilep.
Olympiakos, AEK, PAOK, Bochum...
It's not only Olympiakos who is interested for Vance Sikov. Ilija Ivic, AEK's director had a special task by AEK's board to bring Sikov in AEK this winter. In order to complete the task, Ilija Ivic used all his contacts in Macedonia. There are also some rumors that after joining Olympiakos, he'll be loaned out to some other Greek club and one of the interested clubs for loaning him is PAOK. In the mean time some German clubs are also interested to see him in their squad and Bochum is one of the clubs who is mentioned as very interested.

He is probably the best solution for olympiakos (since the piraeus team sold a couple of central defenders)at the moment, cheap, young and a quality defender but i dont know whether he will obtain bulgarian nationality and thus become an EU national.
The way he left Xanthi though makes you think whether he 'll cause similar problems in the future.
At the moment the gossiping in greece is all about xanthi and olympiakos secret relations as the xanthi side allready sold a greek player to the champions, plus their former manager is as of now working for olympiakos. Sikov will probably cause a lot of discussion upon his arrival.Oh, and another thing... first match of the new year is between olympiakos and xanthi. This is going to be interesting...
P.S. I didnt know there was an interest shown to him before...
