Sokratis said he was with “one of the three biggest teams in the Premier League” by joining the Number 4, as he joined from Borussia Dortmund.
The Greek International who turned 30 this year joined for a fee of €20m (£17.7m) and has signed a ‘long-term contract’ with the club.
Prior to making 186 appearances for Dortmund, he played for Werder Bremen, Genoa, and AC Milan. He also has 79 caps for his country.

He joins his former Dortmund teammates Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan.
“They said to me the best things about this club, that it is one big family and of course they also called me not every day but a lot of times telling me to come here,” Papastathopoulos said.
