The 22-year-old, who signed a three-year contract with PAOK, has been previously linked to a loan deal with the Greek Superleague strugglers who finished 14th last season.

A fan favourite of the Sky Blues, Antonis made just four appearances for PAOK since making the move abroad in August 2015.

He made his debut in the Greek Cup in December last year as a 64th-minute substitute. In February he made his league debut off the bench away to Panathinaikos in the 84th minute.

Last year PAOK sporting director Frank Arnesen assured the Australian he was part of the club’s long-term plans.

Arnesen’s contract was terminated in February, just nine months into a three year deal.
