🚨🇬🇷 IMPORTANT:
If Arsenal pay €40m for Christos Tzolis, TWO records will automatically be broken!
The five most expensive sales in Club Brugge history are currently:
Charles De Ketelaere – €37.5 million to AC Milan in 2022/23.
Ardon Jashari – €36.0 million to AC Milan in 2025/26.
Thiago – €33.0 million to Brentford FC in 2024/25.
Wesley Moraes – €25.0 million to Aston Villa FC in 2019/20.
Odilon Kossounou – €23.0 million to Bayer 04 Leverkusen in 2021/22.
💥 Therefore, Tzolis would become the most expensive sale in Club Brugge history!
🇬🇷 At the same time, Christos Tzolis would become the most expensive Greek player transfer ever, surpassing the €36m paid by Roma for Kostas Manolas and Brighton for Charalampos Kostoulas.
History waiting to be made… 👀🔥

Things you should know about Christos Tzolis:
💥 Profiling
• Predominantly a LW, but also comfortable on the right wing and centrally.
• He’s not a heavy 1v1 winger.
• He’s more of a pocket winger — emphasis on pocket. He loves operating in pockets and half-spaces, to the point where he can sometimes look like a midfielder.
• He’s a deadly ball striker.
• He’s a creative winger with an eye for a pass.
• He loves cutting into half-spaces to either shoot on sight or create a chance.
• He won’t look flashy, but he’ll rack up plenty of goal contributions due to his ball striking and creativity.
For £35m at 24 years old, those are very useful attributes. The upside definitely outweighs the downsides.
🚨 || Fresh talks have taken place between #Arsenal🏴 and the representatives of #Lille🇫🇷 Midfielder, Ayyoub #Bouaddi🇲🇦 whereby they, and the player, have been informed that Mikel #Arteta🇪🇸 sees him as a very important part of the squad moving forward.
Bouaddi has “indicated his interest,” in moving to North London to join the Premier League Champions, with more meetings planned, with expectations for Arteta to be more involved in these ones [Via - @SachaTavolieri].
Arsenal are in direct contact with Club Brugge to sign Christos Tzolis. As I reported earlier, player is very keen but the fee will be key. Data team at Arsenal highly impressed for a while with Greek winger.
Market opportunity which wont affect main target or Monga deal.
🚨 Arsenal exploring deal to sign Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge. 24yo left-sided winger expected to be gettable for ~€40m. Move for Greece international does not impact #AFC interest in Morgan Rogers or other options to strengthen attack @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/lBe1BINfU2
#AFC | Arsenal are kinda cooked tbh.
We need to replace both Trossard and Martinelli. You either go big on the runner or big on the ball to feet guy. Going for Tzolis shows we wanna go big for a runner (Barcola).
Tzolis isn’t a game breaker. His floor is good- it is what it is.
🚨 Christos Tzolis has already spoken to Mikel Arteta & is eager to join Arsenal, with discussions progressing well. As things stand, it is very likely the deal will happen. ✅🇬🇷 [@dimitrismanakos]
⚠️ @dimitrismanakos was the first to report on Arsenal’s interest in Tzolis. 🕵️♂️
Arsenal are in talks with Club Brugge for Christos Tzolis as @HandofArsenal called. Belgium side want close to £35m.
As previously revealed on @talkSPORT, Morgan Rogers remains a leading target in addition.
Bradley Barcola and Junior Kroupi are the other viable options for a starting left-wing spot at the club.
Liverpool also tracking Barcola. PSG are prepared to consider a sale if they reinforce with another attacker even though contract extensions talks are also active.
Julian Alvarez also a dream target for Arsenal.
Jeremy Monga talks remain advanced.
Arsenal also working on outgoings. Saudi interest in Gabriel Martinelli remains.
Bournemouth one club who have enquired on Leandro Trossard, who is also drawing interest from Europe.🔴
Arsenal offered Club Brugge forward Christos Tzolis. Sporting director Andrea Berta actively pursuing £35m deal after assistant Maurizio Micheli watched the Greece international play v Sweden last week. Mikel Arteta on board with possible signing. https://t.co/WVvyaF3I84
🚨🔴⚪️ Arsenal make initial approach for Christos Tzolis as potential new winger with contacts started on player/club side.
He’s among options considered but not only one, Jeremy Monga remains separate deal for future and advancing.
Rogers/Barcola & more remain top targets.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Christos Tzolis has ALREADY spoken with Mikel Arteta and is eager to become an Arsenal player! 🔴⚪🇬🇷
Thank you all for the incredible support over the last few hours. ❤️
Discussions are progressing well and, as things stand, the chances of this deal happening are VERY HIGH. 👀🔥
A huge few weeks ahead for Tzolis and Arsenal fans. Stay tuned… ⏳✍️

An unbelievable season which didn’t end in the way we all dreamed of. That doesn’t change the fact we are still champions of England!
Looking forward to celebrating that with the thousands of fans tomorrow in North London!
Thank you for all the support this season ❤️
One more step Arsenal nation. I honestly think days like today will become a regular for us under Mikel. Be confident but be humble. One more step. One source tells me Timber has played a behind closed doors friendly recently…
Fully behind you Mikel. COYG.
