Volkswacht Bodensee - Premier League champions Arsenal sign Greece winger Tzolis from Brugge

No fee was disclosed but British media reports said the 24-year-old had joined the Gunners from Club Brugge for £34 million ($45 million).

Tzolis scored 43 goals in 108 appearances for the Belgian side as well as providing 45 assists.

He already has experience of English football's top flight, having joined then Premier League side Norwich after helping PAOK Thessaloniki, the club where he started his career, win the Greek Cup in May 2021.

Tzolis then had loan spells in the Netherlands and Germany at FC Twente and Fortuna Duesseldorf respectively before he joined Brugge in 2024 and went on to win the Belgian title with the club last season.

Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta welcomed the arrival of Tzolis, capped 34 times by Greece, by telling the Gunners' website: "We're delighted to have completed the signing of Christos Tzolis.

"Christos is an extremely versatile attacking player who 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.

"Christos has produced outstanding numbers in terms of goals and assists over the last three seasons.

"We're confident Christos will make a significant contribution to our club, and we hope our supporters will enjoy watching him play in an Arsenal shirt," he added.
