Sokratis is delighted with his move to Real Betis.

Off contract from Olympiacos, the veteran defender signed for Betis last week. He arrives as cover for Marc Bartra after he had a clean up operation a fortnight ago.

The Greece international defender said: “I am very happy to be here and to be able to help the team, especially after the injury of my friend Marc Bartra. I come to try to improve and contribute experience to the back line.

“I am sure that I will give more than what is expected of me.

“I am going to need a little time but when the coach and I see that I am ready to debut, I am going to do it one hundred percent. One hundred."
