Nikolaidis is far the best striker the Greek League has ever seen. Apart from scoring goals, Nikolaidis gives many assists too. Many Italian clubs showed interest in him but he decided to stay a couple of years in Athens. The great striker scored crucial goals against Monaco and is also the lethal weapon at the offense of the national team scoring in crucial matches against big opponents such as Croatia (1-1 in Zagreb). In international matches he averages 1 goal out of 2 matches.
