Arsenal eye €40m Christos Tzolis signing as Leandro Trossard set for €20m move to Besiktas

Arsenal are actively pursuing a €40 million transfer for Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis, according to reports from The Athletic. The 24‑year‑old Greek has recorded 17 goals and 23 assists this season and would break the Belgian transfer‑record fee if the deal proceeds. The club’s interest in Tzolis is separate from its ongoing hunt for Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers.

At the same time, Arsenal appear ready to sell Belgian forward Leandro Trossard. Turkish side Besiktas have tabled an offer of around €20 million and are prepared to offer the 31‑year‑old a €7 million‑per‑season contract. Negotiations are reported as advanced, with Trossard’s contract expiring next summer, making a sale financially prudent for the Gunners. Some media also suggest Arsenal could consider off‑loading Gabriel Martinelli to fund further signings. The club, fresh from a Premier League title and a Champions League final appearance, is reshaping its attacking options ahead of the next season.
