Argentine midfielder Bruno Zuculini has joined AEK Athens on a six-month loan deal from Manchester City, the Greek Super League club said on Monday.

Zuculini, 22, was bought by City in 2014 but has been loaned to Valencia, Cordoba and Middlesbrough since then.

AEK also announced that it had signed Czech forward Tomas Pekhart from German Bundesliga club FC Ingolstadt on a deal which runs to the summer of 2019.

Also in Greece Panathinaikos revealed they had signed an Argentine too, 24-year-old winger Lucas Villafanez who joined them on a three-and-a-half year deal from Independiente in Argentina.

Lesser known Athens outfit Atromitos bought 24-year-old Romanian midfielder Cosmin Matei on a two-and-a-half year contract from Dinamo Bucharest.
