Aboussi has great prospects in his career. He is only 18 years old and has already gained experience from the Olympiacos first team. Giorgos Barzoukas has given him time in league action, while often on assignment, gaining experience.
Obviously there is no telling what his future will be, but at the moment he has shown that he has all the resources needed to have a great career. The Red and White are well aware of this and want to make the best use of his talent in the near future.
