Arsenal seal £34m deal to sign Trossard replacement

Arsenal seal £34m deal to sign Trossard replacement

Arsenal are finalising a transfer move for Club Brugge and Greece winger Christos Tzolis.

The Belgian club are now resigned to losing their prized attacker, with a €40m agreement reportedly wrapped up following Leandro Trossard's departure for Besiktas earlier this week.

Tzolis is set to become Arsenal's third signing of the summer, after the club secured a permanent deal for Piero Hincapie and captured Illan Meslier on a free transfer.

The 24-year-old joined Club Brugge from Norwich two years ago and has since earned 34 caps for Greece.

His current contract with the Belgian side runs until June 2029.

Tzolis struggled in his debut Premier League season with Norwich, failing to register a goal or assist in 14 appearances.

He rebounded in the Championship the following year, recording two goals and two assists after a mid-season recall from a loan at FC Twente.

Describing his own style, Tzolis said he likes to score and get into the box, while noting his pace and ability to dribble with both feet.

Arsenal remain in pursuit of Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers, who is viewed as the club's primary target this summer.

The club are also heavily linked with Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes, who has reportedly expressed a desire to move to north London.

Newcastle are holding firm on their stance that the Brazil international is not for sale.
