Arsenal 2026 transfers – Tzolis signed, Trossard out

Overview

Arsenal’s summer window continued to unfold after the early‑July sale of Leandro Trossard to Beşiktaş. On 16 July, the club confirmed a €40 million agreement with Club Brugge for 24‑year‑old Greek winger Christos Tzolis, describing the deal as “no negotiation” after Brugge held firm on price. The transfer was formally announced on 20 July, making Tzolis the most expensive Greek player ever and the biggest sale in Belgian league history. Tzolis made an immediate impact during pre-season, scoring against Girona and providing an assist against Real Betis. During the Emirates Cup against Borussia Dortmund, he recorded an assist for Ethan Nwaneri and earned a penalty for Viktor Gyökeres, extending a streak of 18 consecutive club matches involving a goal or an assist. Arsenal legend Thierry Henry praised the signing as an “excellent business move” and a “real opportunity,” noting the player’s composure and mental strength. On 16 August, Arsenal secured the FA Community Shield with a 3-0 victory over Manchester City. Following the trophy win, Spanish outlet Marca featured Tzolis, noting his career trajectory from Norwich City to his successful tenure at Club Brugge. On 3 September, Tzolis participated in a Reddit ‘Ask Me Anything’ session, where he discussed his early ambitions at PAOK and stated he felt ‘immediately at home’ due to the dressing room atmosphere. By 6 September, The Athletic named Tzolis among the top 15 summer transfers in the Premier League, following his contributions in the Community Shield win and a 3-0 Premier League opening victory against Coventry City. On 8 September, Club Brugge president Bart Verhaeghe reported that Arsenal officials commended the winger’s ‘excellent mentality’ and physical testing performance during a Champions League draw.
