Four years after joining Norwich City for €10 million, Greek winger Christos Tzolis is set to join Arsenal for a reported €40 million. After struggling at Norwich, Tzolis revitalized his career on loan at Fortuna Düsseldorf, scoring over 20 goals. Fortuna triggered their purchase option before selling him to Club Brugge for €6.5 million.

Tzolis, a right-footed player who typically plays on the left wing, arrives at Arsenal after a stellar season with Club Brugge, where he recorded 22 goals and 29 assists and was named Belgian Pro League Player of the Season. His strengths include powerful shooting with his right foot, excellent dribbling, and effective combination play. He also offers a significant threat from set pieces.

While his goal-scoring rate is high, his shot selection is an area for potential improvement. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will need to determine if Tzolis can maintain his impact against tougher Premier League defenses. His off-ball movement has improved significantly, and his progressive runs offer promise. However, areas like pressing and defensive tracking will require adaptation to Arsenal's system.

Tzolis brings a blend of high-volume shooting, decisive collective actions, and set-piece ability. Despite a history of Greek players not always thriving in England, Tzolis' talent suggests he could be a valuable addition, potentially replacing Leandro Trossard and adding depth to Arsenal's attack.
