Arsenal sign Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge for £34m

sportsJul 23, 202618291

Arsenal have completed the £34m signing of Greece winger Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge on a five-year contract. The 24-year-old arrives as a replacement for Leandro Trossard, who moved to Besiktas, and is Arsenal’s third permanent signing of the summer. Tzolis scored 43 times in 108 appearances for Club Brugge and featured in their 3-0 Champions League defeat to Mikel Arteta’s side last season. Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta described Tzolis as a versatile attacking player who naturally operates on the left, is an excellent two-footed finisher, and brings technical ability and positive energy. Tzolis previously played 14 Premier League games on loan at Norwich in 2021-22 without scoring, then had loan spells at FC Twente and Fortuna Dusseldorf before moving to Club Brugge in 2024. The arrival provides attacking cover while William Saliba is set to miss an extended period with a back problem, and follows Piero Hincapié’s permanent signing and Illan Meslier’s free transfer to Arsenal.

Does anyone know if Christos Tzolis was by any chance travelling with Odysseus? Wasn't he supposed to reach Arsenal already? 😬

Every Arsenal signing is an Odyssey…

Is it possible he was travelling by car and heard sirens?

Arsenal is never signing a guy and announce it on time,Meslier was an anomaly

Mark McFaul1

I hope he has a better sense of direction than Odysseus! 😂

@ArseVengers1

Arsenal confirm Christos Tzolis has joined from Club Brugge on a five-year deal. €40m fee. #AFC convinced Tzolis will be an exciting signing. Viewed as versatile, capable of playing left-wing or across the front line and comfortable in tight spaces. Arsenal also see Tzolis as a natural goal scorer.🇬🇷

Looking at Bayern sign Saibari for €50m and Arsenal sign Tzolis for €40m, then Chelsea sign Rogers for €135m, Man City sign Anderson for €135m and Spurs sign Tonali for €108m... why would any Premier League club buy players from WITHIN the Premier League?!

Arsenal get a 4 month injury to Saliba, have Mosquera, Calafiore, Timber, & White, yet are still looking for CB cover. They have a stacked midfield, yet still want to sign Bruno. A stacked forward line yet want to sign Tzolis, & wanted Rogers. Liverpool, meanwhile 😴

They can still only field 11 players at a time though. HTH.

Just posted something about this, if Konsa is really available on the market (wich I'm nescessarily not convinced he is tho), how the hell isn't Lfc involved? He's pretty much the excact profile we need. An experienced CB that can cover RB & capable of holding the hands of Leoni & Jaquet after VVD.
