LIONEL MESSI

Georgios Samaras has landed a lucrative sponsorship deal alongside Lionel Messi promoting Lays crisps of Greece.

The World Cup is the biggest commercial sporting event in the globe with all range of firms wanting to be associated with the football festival.

Messi, Christiano Ronaldo and Neymar will rake in fortunes over the coming weeks as they lend their names to a variety of products with the companies hoping that their man can generate millions of sales.

Samaras is one of the most experienced players in the Greek squad and has previously been involved in adverts fr shampoo manufacturers.

With his Celtic contract expired he will move on to a new club next season with Neil Lennon hoping that his former favorite can land a deal to a top league.

“Before he left to join up with Greece, I had a word with him and told him not to return from Brazil with any regrets,” the former Celtic boss told the Sunday Post. “I warned him to be Samaras The Star Turn rather than Samaras The Frustrating Forward.

“And I also believe he saved himself a bit for the World Cup. His contract was expiring at the end of the season with Celtic, and he always had one eye on moving.

“Well, he has the perfect platform. I’d imagine right now he’ll have the choice of a few clubs in leading leagues such as Spain, Germany and Italy. That is where I’m sure he will end up. But if he plays as well as we all know he can, then he’ll have his pick of clubs.”
