Raised in Germany, Mitroglou started his career at [[Borussia Mönchengladbach]], where he established himself as an excellent prospect. He was signed by [[Olympiacos F.C.|Olympiacos]] in the summer of 2007 and had two loan spells at [[Panionios F.C.|Panionios]] and [[Atromitos F.C.|Atromitos]] before establishing himself in the team. He transferred to [[Premier League]] club [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]] in 2013 for a club record £12&nbsp;million, and they were relegated in his only season, in which he was troubled by injury. He then returned to Olympiacos on loan and then to [[S.L. Benfica|Benfica]] in Portugal, before joining the latter on a permanent basis in 2016. With Benfica, he would win five major honours, including back-to-back league titles, and set his single-season scoring record with 27 goals.
