Kostas Tsimikas
Konstantinos "Kostas" Tsimikas (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Τσιμίκας; born 12 May 1996) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Serie A club Roma, on loan from Premier League club Liverpool, and the Greece national team.
Tsimikas began his professional career at Olympiacos, winning two Super League Greece titles while also having loan spells with Esbjerg and Willem II. He joined Liverpool in 2020, helping the team to successes in the Premier League, FA Cup and EFL Cup. Tsimikas made his senior international debut for Greece in 2018.
Tsimikas was born in Thessaloniki, and hails from the village of Lefkonas, Serres. He started his career from his village's local team and he transferred to AS Neapoli Thessaloniki when he was 14 years old. In 2013, he moved to Panserraikos and he scored 5 goals during 2013–14 season in Gamma Ethniki.
Tsimikas made his Olympiacos debut in the Super League in a match against AEL Kalloni on 19 December 2015.
On 28 December 2016, Tsimikas signed for Danish club Esbjerg on a loan until the end of the 2016–17 season. On 17 February 2017, in his debut with the club, he scored a goal in a 3–0 home win game against Sønderjyske Fodbold. He left the club after 13 games, and returned to Olympiacos.[citation needed]
On 30 June 2017, Tsimikas made another loan move, this time to Dutch club Willem II on a season-long contract. He was a regular in the 2017–18 Eredivisie, starting 32 of the 34 matches, and also scored 5 goals. In the quarter-finals of the KNVB Cup, his deflected free kick took the tie into extra time, and Willem II went on to beat Roda on penalties. Tsimikas' spectacular scorpion kick in a 3–2 win against FC Utrecht was voted Voetbal International Goal of the Month and contributed to him being named Eredivisie Rookie of the Month for March 2018.
Coach Pedro Martins kept Tsimikas at Olympiacos for the 2018–19 season. In November 2018, he crossed for Kostas Fortounis' first goal in a 5–1 defeat of F91 Dudelange in the Europa League group stage; both players were named in the UEFA Europa League Team of the Week. In late 2018, Tsimikas did not start many games, though was still offered a new deal, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2023.
On 11 August 2020, Tsimikas signed for Premier League side Liverpool on a deal for a reported fee of £11.75 million. He became only the second Greek player in Liverpool's history, after Sotirios Kyrgiakos who joined the club from AEK Athens in 2009. He made his debut for Liverpool in the EFL Cup on 24 September 2020, in a 7–2 win against Lincoln City. He made his Premier League debut as a substitute for Andrew Robertson against Manchester City in a 4–1 loss.[citation needed]
