“Dimitrios is a team player with good attacking mentality. He can help us find free spaces, key passes and can be useful in front of the goal,” said ATK Mohun Bagan head coach Juan Ferrando on his latest recruit.

The Kolkata giants have been extremely sensible in the summer transfer market and have packed up their squad with exceptional replacements. It was big a task to replace the likes of David Williams and Roy Krishna the formidable duo of the Green and Maroon frontline. ATKMB went on to change three of their foreigners for the upcoming season.
Prior to Dimitrios Petratos, the Mariners roped in Florentin Pogba and Brendan Hamill. The previous foreigners of Hugo Boumous, Carl McHugh, and Joni Kauko stay after being tied in contracts with the club. Now with the addition of Dimitrios Petratos, the squad will find new dynamism in the attack.
Though Dimitrios Petratos is scheduled to take up the No. 9 jersey for the Green and Maroon brigade, Petrartos is a highly versatile footballer. Not only can he play as an out striker, but he is also equally adept in slotting in the attacking midfield role. Petratos can further take on defenders on the flanks and can don the role of a winger.
