In the January 2019 transfer window Georgiou went out on loan to Spanish club Levante.[4]

Following the signing of a new contract with Tottenham Georgiou joined League One club Ipswich Town on loan on 19 August until January 2020.[5] He made his League One debut the next day against AFC Wimbledon at Portman Road, starting in the second half as a substitute and helping the team to a 2–1 win.[6] His loan was ended on 28 December, having made 13 appearances in all competitions but without making a league start during his loan spell.[7]

On 31 January 2020, Georgiou joined another League One club, Bolton Wanderers on another six-month loan.[8] Because of injury his debut didn't come until 7 March, where he came on as a substitute in the second half against AFC Wimbledon in a 0–0 draw.[9] He played one more match, also as a substitute, before the COVID-19 pandemic ended the season three months early.

AEL Limassol[edit]

In January 2021 Georgiou joined AEL Limassol in the Cypriot First Division in a permanent transfer from Tottenham.[10]
