Vangelis Pavlidis (Greek: Βαγγέλης Παυλίδης; born 21 November 1998) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a centre forward for Dutch club Willem II and the Greece national team.[2][3]

Club career

VfL Bochum

On 9 April 2016, Pavlidis signed a professional contract until the summer of 2019. Pavlidis is in the Bochum team for one and half years and has redeemed his stunning appearances in the Bundesliga U19 competitive league (45 matches - 20 goals - 13 assists) and his excellent presence with the first Bochum team in which he regularly participated in the training sessions, as well as in official friendly games. Pavlidis was voted, according to FIFA, as one of the 15 greatest talents in the finals of the previous European U17 Championship in Bulgaria. The Westphalian team is betting a lot to the young striker since the 2016–17 season, so it hastened to bind him with a new contract until 2019, as German, English and Italian teams have been very interested in the past few years.[4]

On 15 May 2016, he made his debut with the club as a substitute in a 2. Bundesliga 4–2 away win against 1. FC Heidenheim.

Loan to Borussia Dortmund II

On 26 January 2018, Pavlidis joined Borussia Dortmund II on loan for the second half of the season.[5] On 22 June 2018, Pavlidis loan spell was extended until summer 2019.[6]

Loan to Willem II

On 17 January 2019, Willem II confirmed the signing of young Greek international on loan from Bochum until the end of the 2018–19 season.[7] On 23 January 2019, he scored his first goal with the club after Marios Vrousai's assist in a 3–2 away KNVB Beker win against FC Twente.[8] On 16 February 2019, he scored his first goal in Eredivisie, with a right footed shot from very close range to the bottom right corner in a 3–2 away loss against Vitesse.[9]

Pavlidis only moved to Willem II as a loanee from German side VfL Bochum in January, but he's already managed to make a solid impression in the Eredivisie, popping up with two goals and three assists in seven league games. He's also registered one goal and one assist in the Dutch Cup. On 3 March 2019, Pavlidis struck gold netting his club's second goal in a 2–4 loss to SC Heerenveen on the road.[10]

Willem II

On 29 April 2019, Pavlidis will play his football with Willem II until 2022 after signing a permanent deal with the club. The 20-year-old striker, who was on the books at Bochum in Germany, made a loan move to the Eredivisie for Willem II in January and since then, has had a tremendous spell with the Dutch club. Across all competitions, the striker has scored four goals and registered five assists in 14 appearances. As a result, Willem II decided to make Pavlidis’ move a permanent one and the youngster signed a contract with the Dutch club through 2022.[11]

On 2 August 2018, in the opening game of the 2019–20 Eredivisie Pavlidis scored twice as Willem II defeated PEC Zwolle 3–1.[12] Two weeks later, he converted a penalty after he himself had been fouled, and scored a second with a header, as Willem II beat Fortuna Sittard 3–2 away from home.[13] On 15 September, Pavlidis scored in a 4–1 away loss against Heracles Almelo.[14] A week later he scored the only goal in a 1–0 home win game against VVV-Venlo.[15] On 23 November 2019, he scored a brace after assisted by Mats Köhlert and Marios Vrousai respectively helping his club to acquire a vital away 3–3 draw against ADO Den Haag. These were Pavlidis’ first goals since he scored for Greece against Bosnia in UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying in October.[16] On 13 December 2019, Pavlidis opened the score, as Willem II defeated SC Heerenveen 2–1 on the road in the Eredivisie.[17]

On 18 January 2020, Pavlidis notched his first goal of 2020 with Willem II, netting the second marker for his team in an important 3–1 win at AZ Alkmaar. With 12 minutes remaining, Pavlidis neatly collected the ball inside the penalty area, took aim and dinked his shot over the onrushing goalkeeper to give Willem II the lead.[18] On 22 January 2020, in the KNVB Cup, the international striker hit the target as Willem II eventually ended up losing to SC Heerenveen. On 28 February 2020, he scored with a right footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner, after an assist from Görkem Sağlam in a 3–1 home win game against FC Groningen. Midway through the second half, the 21-year-old forward then contributed with an assist for his team’s third, as his low feed across the box was tapped home by Mats Köhlert.[19]

On 16 September 2020, in his first continental match, he scored a brace helping his club to win by a score of 5–0 against FC Progrès Niederkorn in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.[20] On 20 September 2020, he scored a brace in a hammering 4–0 home win game against Heracles Almelo, named MVP of the game.[21] On 4 October 2020, he was the only scorer in a frustrated 1–4 home loss against Feyenoord.[22]

International career

On 29 August 2019, Pavlidis was called up to the Greek senior team by coach John van 't Schip for the forthcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers against Finland and Liechtenstein.[23]
