Official! Trossard joins Besiktas, Arsenal clear to sign Sporting target | OneFootball

It’s official. Leandro Trossard has been announced by Besikas, opening the door for a new Arsenal move in the transfer market. Christos Tzolis has now emerged as the leading name to strengthen the English champions’ attack. The Club Brugge winger, who was also on Sporting’s radar, is seen as the ideal solution.

The Gunners announced an agreement with the Turks for the winger’s transfer, in a deal that could reach €20 million, including €18 million fixed plus a further €2 million in add-ons. The forward therefore leaves the London club.

The structure led by Andrea Berta has accelerated the process to secure an alternative for the attacking sector. According to BBC Sport, Arsenal had already been tracking Christos Tzolis since June and are preparing to complete the deal for the Greek player.

The footballer is expected to cost more than €40 million and is seen as a player capable of adding pace, creativity and the ability to unbalance defenses to the English side’s attack. The move to the Emirates Stadium represents a blow to the clubs that were also monitoring the player, including the Alvalade club.

This season, wearing the Club Brugge shirt, Christos Tzolis - valued at €40 million - featured in 52 matches. Across the 4,392 minutes he spent on the pitch, he scored 22 goals and provided 29 assists for his teammates.
