When my agent was saying maybe it was a possibility, I was already excited. Afterwards it was getting more serious and now I\u2019m here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI had a nice conversation with Mikel Arteta. It was around an hour. We talked about everything \u2014 about the club, about myself, about his plans, about the team. It was only positive things.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy targets are to win titles\u2026 and to have as much game time as possible with the team. Then the rest will come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Arsenal\u2019s View<\/strong><br \/>Sporting director Andrea Berta said:<br \/>\u201cWe\u2019re 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\u2019s an excellent finisher with both feet, thrives in tight spaces, and possesses incredible technical ability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChristos has produced outstanding numbers in terms of goals and assists over the last three seasons, and he\u2019s a player who will raise the technical level of our squad while bringing positive energy, enthusiasm and a strong mentality to our team. We\u2019re confident Christos will make a significant contribution to our club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Career Background<\/strong><br \/>Tzolis previously played 14 Premier League matches for Norwich City during the 2021-22 season. He later spent loan periods with FC Twente and Fortuna D\u00fcsseldorf before joining Club Brugge in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His arrival provides a boost for Arsenal as they prepare to defend their Premier League title, with defender William Saliba recently ruled out for an extended period due to a back injury.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"article-tags entry-footer\">\n<\/footer><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/greekcitytimes.com\/2026\/07\/24\/christos-tzolis-completes-34m-transfer-to-arsenal-from-club-brugge\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greek international Christos Tzolis has completed a \u00a334 million transfer from Club Brugge to Premier League champions Arsenal.
