Club career
Fekkas made his professional debut in the Super League U-17 for Olympiacos on 9 September 2017 in a game against Levadiakos F.C. winning 3-0 and playing the full match. As he signed his professional contract for Olympiacos on 19 September 2017, scouting from foreign clubs picked up on that and they were very interested in this past year. His team currently sits at the top of the football table, beating their eternal rivals Panathinaikos F.C for just a few points away. He is considered by many to be one of the best players Olympiacos has ever purchased. After winning the 2015-2016 with the U-15, without any hesitation and any regrets from the Olympiacos staff, Fekkas immediately jumped up to his now U-17 team. Saying this he had with U-15 20 appearances and 4 goals and currently with the U-17 team he has 18 appearances 7 goals, which is surprisingly a lot for an Attacking Midfielder.
