Konstantinos Doumtsios (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Κωνσταντίνος Δούμτσιος; born 20 September 1997) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a striker for club VVV-Venlo.

Career

Doumtsios hails from Ano Poroia, Serres.[2] He began his football journey in the local club, Serres', youth system, making his debut for the first team on 15 February 2015, in a second-tier Football League match against Lamia, which ended in a 2–0 defeat.[3] During his time at Serres, he trialled with Belgian club Genk. At the season's close, he was acquired by Iraklis. However, his time there failed to see him participate in any official matches over two years.

Between 2017 and 2019, he competed in the second division for Panserraikos, Aiginiakos, and Doxa Drama. In 2019, he joined Panionios, making his debut in the Super League Greece on 25 August 2019, in a match against Volos that ended in a 2–1 loss.[4] His debut top-tier season included 15 appearances and a single goal across league and cup competitions.[5] Following the club's insolvency,[6] he made a free transfer move to Karaiskakis in September 2020.[7] Subsequently, in July 2021, Levadiakos signed him on a two-year deal, and together they secured the Super League 2 championship at the culmination of the 2021–22 season.[8] [9]

On 3 August 2023, Doumtsios signed a one-year contract with an option for an additional year with Dutch Eerste Divisie club TOP Oss. He expressed his joy about his move to Dutch football: "Dutch football has appealed to me as a fan of the sport from a very young age. The ambition to play in the Netherlands followed shortly thereafter. I've worked hard towards taking this step."[10] [11] He scored six goals in 37 appearances for the club. His performances earned him a move to VVV-Venlo on 26 June 2024, where he signed a two-year contract with an option for an additional season.[12] Upon signing, he mentioned former Eredivisie top goalscorer for VVV, fellow Greek, Giorgos Giakoumakis, as an inspiration in signing for the club.[13]

Style of play

Doumtsios has been described as a "physically strong" striker, who plays with high energy and intensity.
