Arsenal has bolstered its attacking options by signing Greek forward Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge on a long-term contract. The Premier League champions announced the deal on Thursday, with British media reporting the transfer fee at £34 million, a record for the Belgian Pro League.

Tzolis, 24, arrives at the Emirates Stadium after an impressive two-year stint with Club Brugge. He made 108 appearances across all competitions, contributing 43 goals and 45 assists. His performances were instrumental in helping the club secure the Belgian Cup in 2025 and clinch the league title this year, earning him the Belgian Pro League Player of the Season award.

"I need some time to realize it, I think! It's absolutely amazing to sign for such a big club, the champions of England. I'm very proud to be part of this team for the next season," Tzolis was quoted as saying. The forward began his professional career at PAOK before moving to England to join Norwich City in 2021. During his three years with the Canaries, he made 14 Premier League appearances.

The Greece international has represented his country at various youth levels and made his senior debut in October 2020. He has since earned 34 caps for Greece, adding international experience to his profile as he embarks on this new chapter with Arsenal.

I need some time to realize it, I think! It's absolutely amazing to sign ⁠for such a ⁠big club, the champions of England. I'm very proud to be part of this team for the next season.
