Arsenal makes a major move with €40 million swoop

Highly sought-after following his stellar performances with Club Brugge, Christos Tzolis is closing in on Arsenal, with a deal reportedly already in place with the player.

Christos Tzolis edges closer to a switch to Arsenal. According to reports from Nicolo Schira, the Greek international has already reached an agreement on personal terms with the Gunners, with a contract running until 2031 and an annual salary estimated at three million euros.

The London club has been tracking the 24-year-old winger for several months and now appears ready to step up their pursuit. Tzolis's numbers certainly catch the eye: in 108 matches for Club Brugge, he has netted 43 goals and provided 45 assists, all while establishing himself as a key figure for the Greek national team.

However, Brugge have no intention of letting their gem go on the cheap. Signed for just €6.5 million in 2024, the player is now valued at nearly €40 million. A sale at this price would represent a massive profit for the Belgian club, which is now awaiting an official offer from Arsenal.
