The Greek bagsman racked up an outstanding 29 goals in the Eredivisie, sharing the top spot with PSV Eindhoven’s Luuk de Jong.

With one year left on his contract, the Portuguese side are cashing in on that fact as normally his market value is €25 million according to Transfermarkt.

Benfica have bought three strikers in the past three seasons so hopefully Pavlidis can hit the ground running because Marcos Leonardo has a lot of potential and can easily set Liga Portugal alight after a promising first season so it will be a tough fight between the pair of them on who gets that starting spot up top.
