Arsenal confirm Tzolis arrival
Arsenal have officially announced the signing of Christos Tzolis, who joins on a permanent transfer from Club Brugge after putting pen to paper on a long-term contract. The 24-year-old winger leaves Belgium after two outstanding seasons, during which he made 108 appearances, scored 43 goals and registered 45 assists in all competitions.

During his spell at Club Brugge, Tzolis won the Belgian Cup in 2025 and the Belgian Pro League title in 2025/26, while also being named Belgian Pro League Player of the Year in successive seasons.

A product of PAOK Thessaloniki's academy, Tzolis made his first-team debut in 2020 and helped the club lift the Greek Cup the following year.

He joined Norwich City in 2021 and made an immediate impact, scoring twice and providing two assists on his Carabao Cup debut against Bournemouth. Loan spells with FC Twente and Fortuna Düsseldorf followed before he secured a permanent move to Club Brugge, where he established himself as one of Belgium's standout attacking players.

Tzolis represented Greece at youth level before making his senior debut in October 2020. He has since earned 34 international caps.

Berta: "Tzolis will raise the quality of our squad"
Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta welcomed the club's latest signing. "We are delighted to have completed the signing of Christos Tzolis. He is an extremely versatile attacker who is most comfortable on the left wing but can play anywhere across the front line. He is an excellent finisher with either foot, moves brilliantly in tight spaces and possesses outstanding technical quality. Over the past three years he has consistently produced outstanding numbers in terms of goals and assists. He is a player who will raise the quality of our squad while bringing enthusiasm, energy and a winning mentality. We are confident he will make an important contribution to the club and we look forward to seeing him in an Arsenal shirt. We can't wait to begin this new chapter together."

Tzolis will wear the No. 17 shirt and has already joined his new team-mates at the Sobha Realty Training Centre for pre-season.

The transfer remains subject to the completion of the usual regulatory requirements.
