  • Marca praised Greek winger Christos Tzolis after his strong start at Arsenal, where he has impressed since joining the English champions.
  • Arsenal paid 40 million euros for the 24-year-old, making him the most expensive Greek footballer in history.
  • Tzolis earned the move after a standout season with Club Brugge, recording 17 league goals, 23 assists and the league’s MVP award.

Marca has framed Christos Tzolis’ move to Arsenal as a dramatic turnaround from the difficult period that followed his transfer to Norwich.

The 24-year-old Greek winger has made an immediate impression at the Emirates after Arsenal paid 40 million euros for him. The deal made Tzolis the most expensive Greek footballer in history and addressed the club’s need to strengthen its left side.

His season with Club Brugge provided the platform for the transfer. Tzolis helped the Belgian club win the league and finished the campaign as its second-highest scorer, with 17 goals. He also led the competition in assists, with 23, and was named its most valuable player.

Marca said Tzolis contributed to 40 goals overall, more than any other player, while also posting the league’s highest averages for shots, at 3.4, and key passes, at 3.8. His performances attracted Arsenal five years after his move to Norwich, where his time had been portrayed as a major disappointment. Arsenal signed him to fill the gap left by Leandro Trossard.

It was the worst year of my life.
