Arsenal

have reportedly struck a transfer deal with Club Brugge to sign winger Christos Tzolis.

The Gunners have been tracking Tzolis’ progress for some time and stepped up their interest last month as they

entered into negotiations with Club Brugge

for the 24-year-old.

Tzolis has enjoyed two outstanding seasons in Belgian football, racking up 43 goals and 45 assists in 108 appearances for Club Brugge, while helping the club win the Belgian Pro League, the Belgian Cup and the Belgian Super Cup.

The Belgian champions signed Tzolis for a fee of €3.5million from Norwich City in 2024 and stand to make a tidy profit on the sought-after Greece international.

According to

The Athletic

, the Flemish outfit are now resigned to losing their prized possession, with Arsenal ‘in the process of finalising a move’.

The report claims the

Premier League

champions have wrapped up a €40m (£34m) agreement with Club Brugge, news that follows

Leandro Trossard’s departure for Besiktas

earlier this week.

and

Tzolis is set to become Arsenal’s third signing of the summer transfer window, with

Mikel Arteta’s side already secured a permanent deal for Piero Hincapie

– following an initial loan – before

capturing Illan Meslier on a free transfer

During his debut season in English football with Norwich, Tzolis finished the Premier League season without registering a goal or an assist in 14 appearances for the Canaries.

But the following year in the Championship, he notched two goals and two assists after being recalled from a loan stint with FC Twente midway through the campaign.

Tzolis’ current contract with Club Brugge – which he signed on his return to Belgium – is not due to expire until June 2029.
