Arsenal have scheduled a medical and contract signing for Christos Tzolis after the Greece international rejected approaches from rival clubs to join the Gunners.
The winger is set to complete a €40 million move from Club Brugge, with all terms agreed between the clubs.
Brugge held firm on their €40 million valuation, and Arsenal were prepared to meet it without lengthy negotiations.
Two clubs in Italy and Germany attempted to enter the race in recent weeks, but Tzolis informed them he would only join Arsenal.
The 24-year-old will sign a long-term contract in the coming days and becomes Mikel Arteta’s new option on the wing.
Tzolis has been prolific in Belgium, scoring 21 goals in 56 appearances in 2024/25 and 22 in 52 the following season.
He is viewed as a replacement for Leandro Trossard, who recently departed for Besiktas, and is expected to offer reliable output from wide areas.
Adapting to English football will present a challenge, but continued development under Arteta could see him thrive at the club.
The player’s insistence on choosing Arsenal over multiple suitors has reinforced his commitment to the project.
Arsenal are expected to remain active in the transfer market, with potential moves in central defense and attacking midfield under consideration.
