Newly-acquired Puerto Rican guard, Gian Clavell spoke about his transfer to the “Queen”:

“First of all, I thank God for giving me the opportunity to play for such a prestigeous club. I also want to thank AEK and its people for this opportunity. I’m joining one of the biggest clubs in Greece and I’m very grateful to be part of it.”

The international Puerto Rican guard added:

“I know I’m joining a good and well-balanced team. I know some of my new teammates –  I’ve faced them at national team level. I’m excited to play alongside them. I know they expect scoring from me above all. AEK has an excellent player, Frank (Bartley). I don’t know him personally, but I’ve seen him play. He’s a very good scorer, so it’ll be great to play together. It’s going to be hard for our opponents to guard us. I’m looking forward to playing with Frank, as well as with the rest of my teammates.”

The experienced guard “introduced himself” to the AEK crowd on June 4th, 2021, as a Promitheas player at OAKA. The “Queen” had won 113-101, but Gian scored 45 points – and he hasn’t forgotten it:

“Of course I remember that game. Obviously, it was one of the best games of my career. I was really sad back then about the loss, but individually, it was one of my best performances. I think I scored 45 points. I hope I can do it again in Greece, especially now that I’ll be wearing the AEK jersey,” Gian said.

Finally, the international guard sent a message to AEK fans:

“I want to promise them that I will play hard. I will play with passion, on both defense and offense, to help our team win as many games as possible. I don’t want to say too many words. But I promise that I will always give my best.”
