Ben White says Arsenal new man beat everyone in pre-season testing

Christos Tzolis is determined to make a success of his time at Arsenal, and the Greek winger has already made a strong impression on his new teammates during the club’s pre-season preparations.

Arsenal signed Tzolis during the current transfer window as a replacement for Leandro Trossard, who completed a move to Besiktas. The early signs have been encouraging, with the Greek international quickly adapting to his new surroundings and showing promising form ahead of the new campaign.

Tzolis impresses during pre-season

Tzolis is expected to compete with Gabriel Martinelli for a place on the left wing, and he has already demonstrated why he is regarded as one of the most exciting players in the squad. His performances in training and during warm-up matches have attracted positive attention from both the coaching staff and his fellow players.

The winger arrived at Arsenal in excellent physical condition and has impressed with his fitness levels throughout pre-season testing. Because Greece did not qualify for the World Cup, he has been able to participate fully in Arsenal’s preparations, giving him valuable time to settle into the squad before the season begins.
