Arsenal sign Greek striker Christos Tzolis for €40 million
Arsenal FC have completed the signing of 24‑year‑old Greek international forward Christos Tzolis from Belgian club Club Brugge for a reported fee of around €40 million. The transfer follows the departure of Leandro Trossard, leaving a vacancy in the squad's attacking midfield.
Manager Mikel Arteta praised the new arrival, saying he expects Tzolis to “quickly win over the fans” and fill the gap left by Trossard. Arteta added that, while the former player was “hard to replace”, the club believes Tzolis has the talent and personality to succeed.
Tzolis made his first appearance for Arsenal in a friendly against MK Dons, receiving positive feedback for his early minutes in the red shirt. The signing is described as a major investment aimed at strengthening the team for the upcoming season.
