PSV Eindhoven lead this Eredivisie season after the opening eight matches but AZ has positioned themselves as contenders through Vangelis Pavlidis’ goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pascal Jansen’s men, unbeaten alongside PSV and Feyenoord, are two points behind the leaders and boast the league’s third most prolific attack with 45% of those efforts courtesy of their Greek marksman.<\/p>\n

    Pavlidis, 24, joined from Willem II in July for a reported \u20ac2.5m with his present contract expiring on June 30, 2025 and with the way things are going chances are AZ will make a profit on him.<\/p>\n

    The native of Thessaloniki has scored in each of AZ’s first eight league outings an incredible streak only bettered in Eredivisie history by Johan Cruyff<\/a> who scored in Ajax’s first 14 matches of the 1966\/67 season.<\/p>\n

    If he wants to equal the all-time record, Pavlidis will have to find the net against Heerenveen (home), NEC (home), Excelsior (away), Feyenoord (away), FC Volendam (home) and FC Utrecht (away).<\/p>\n
