Christos Tzolis has emerged as a standout for Arsenal, impressing in pre-season and the Community Shield with 23 assists in his career. Despite three goals in 30 appearances at Norwich City, he thrived on loan at Fortuna Dusseldorf (24 goals) and became a star at Club Brugge. Tzolis replaced Leandro Trossard (Besiktas) and outperformed him in key metrics: 13 chances vs. 7, 138 final-third passes vs. 80.

Arteta praised his intelligence and composure, noting his natural fit into Arsenal's attack. Tzolis' 38.5% dead-ball chances (52 of 135) and pre-season assist highlight his creativity. His performance against Manchester City and consistent form suggest he’s Arsenal’s new gem.
