Christos Tzolis joins Arsenal from Club Brugge | OneFootball

Arsenal have completed the signing of Greek forward Christos Tzolis for a reported €40 million.

Tzolis joins the club after two highly-successful seasons in Belgium with Club Brugge The former Norwich City man scored 21 goals and made 14 assists in 56 games in his first year with the club before bettering that last season with 22 goals and 29 assists in just 52 games.

Those numbers have caught the eye of Arsenal who have now signed the player on a 'long-term' deal.

"It's absolutely amazing to sign for such a big club, the champions of England," Tzolis said on his arrival in North London. "I'm very proud to be part of this team for the next season. 

"When my agent was saying maybe it was a possibility, I was already excited. Afterwards it was getting more serious and now I'm here.”

"I had a nice conversation [with Mikel Arteta]. It was around an hour. We talked about everything, about the club, about myself, about his plans, about me of course, about the team. It was only positive things."

Tzolis becomes Arsenal's third summer signing following the permanent transfer of Piero Hincapié and Illan Meslier joining the club.
