Both Kostoulas and Mouzakitis started the match before being substituted at the same with ten minutes remaining in the 0-0 draw.

The duo are already playing regularly for Olympiakos despite being just 17 and that has caught the attention of Arsenal and other teams.

What do fans need to know about Kostoulas and Mouzakitis?

Kostoulas was the first to make his senior debut, having played the first 45 minutes of the opening-day fixture against Volos NPS.

The Greek Under 21 international can play either as a striker or no.10 and he has been in good form in recent weeks, scoring 3 in Olympiakos’s last 5 league fixtures, including the first goal against Kallithea during the 1-1 draw last weekend.

Mouzakitis, meanwhile, made his debut slightly later, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2-0 win over Atromitos and getting himself an assist. He is a central midfielder by trade, having also been handed his first cap by Greece at senior level last month, coming on a last minute substitute against Finland in a Nations League fixture.

Arsenal will have competition for the pair

TBRFootball report that the two 17-year-olds are also being tracked by the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham and Newcastle.

With both Kostoulas and Mouzakitis reaching the final 18 months of their contracts at Olympiakos, it looks like Arsenal will be one of the teams looking to chance their arm with bids next month.

How many other clubs will join the Gunners in competing for their signatures, we shall have to wait and see.
