Arsenal move for Greek star Rui Borges wanted at Sporting, over 40m | OneFootball

Arsenal are assessing the signing of Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis, a player who was once on Sporting’s radar. The Greece international is once again attracting attention in the market, now being linked with a possible move to London in a deal that could reach €40.5 million.

The English club’s interest is genuine and already has the approval of manager Mikel Arteta. Sporting director Andrea Berta is said to be working towards pushing through the signing of the 24-year-old winger, who has been closely monitored by the Gunners’ hierarchy.

Strengthening the attack is a priority for Arsenal in this transfer window, with other targets for the position also identified. Among them is Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, while the London club continue to track several options for the attacking unit.

In recent times, the player has been watched in person by the English club, with Arsenal’s Head of Scouting, Maurizio Micheli, travelling to Belgium to assess the 24-year-old footballer developed at PAOK.

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