Georgi Yomov (Bulgarian: Георги Йомов; born 6 July 1997) is a Bulgarian professional footballer who plays as a winger for CSKA Sofia and the Bulgaria national team. He is a grandson of former Levski Sofia footballer Todor Barzov.

Career

Early career

Yomov joined Levski Sofia at the age of 9 in 2006 and progressed through the club's academy system. In the summer of 2015 he left the club to sign a professional contract with Slavia Sofia.[2]

Yomov spent a few months in Slavia's youth academy and was promoted to the senior team in early 2016. He made his first team debut in a 0–0 home draw against Cherno More Varna on 21 February 2016, coming on as a substitute for Yanis Karabelyov.[3] Two months later, on 2 April, Yomov scored his first goal for Slavia against Montana after an impressive individual effort.[4]

For five years with Slavia Yomov made overall 126 appearances, scored 17 goals and won the Bulgarian Cup in 2018.

CSKA Sofia

On 17 August 2020, Yomov completed a move to CSKA Sofia[5] for a reported fee of €300,000.[6] He made his debut five days later as a 57th-minute substitute for Graham Carey in a 2–1 away win over Botev Vratsa.[7] Yomov scored his first goal for CSKA on 24 September against B36 Tórshavn in the third qualifying round of the Europa League.[8]

International career

Yomov was called up to the senior Bulgaria squad for the first time in October 2020 for a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying play-off against Hungary and a UEFA Nations League matches against Finland and Wales.[9] He made his international debut on 8 October at Vasil Levski National Stadium, replacing Galin Ivanov in the first half against Hungary, and scored in the 89th minute of a 3–1 loss.[10]
