Overview
- Arsenal completed the signing of Greece winger Christos Tzolis on Thursday, with the club announcing a long‑term contract and the player immediately joining pre‑season training.
- Multiple outlets reported the fee at about €40m (£34m) and a five‑year deal running to 2031, though Arsenal did not disclose financial terms in its official statement.
- Sporting director Andrea Berta described Tzolis as a versatile attacker who naturally plays on the left but can operate across the front line, and Tzolis said an hour‑long conversation with Mikel Arteta helped persuade him to join.
- Tzolis arrives to replace Leandro Trossard after a prolific two seasons at Club Brugge in which he registered 43 goals and 45 assists in 108 games and won the Belgian title.
- The signing shows Arsenal moving for a younger, value‑focused option after missing on higher‑priced targets this window and could prompt further tweaks to the club’s attacking roster ahead of the season.
