Arsenal have announced the signing of Greece international Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge in a deal reportedly worth £34 million
The 24-year-old forward has signed a long-term contract with the Premier League champions and is expected to add quality and versatility to Mikel Arteta’s attacking options.
Tzolis joins the Gunners after an outstanding spell in Belgium, where he scored 43 goals and provided 45 assists in 108 appearances for Club Brugge.
His arrival comes after Leandro Trossard completed a move to Besiktas earlier this month.
Speaking on the signing, Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta described Tzolis as an exciting attacking player capable of playing in multiple forward positions.
“Christos naturally operates on the left but is comfortable across the front line. He’s an excellent finisher with both feet, thrives in tight spaces, and possesses incredible technical ability.”
Berta added that the Greek international’s impressive attacking numbers, energy and winning mentality would be a valuable addition to Arsenal’s squad.
