Almost done! Arsenal table 41m, stop winger joining Sporting | OneFootball

Arsenal are very close to securing the signing of Christos Tzolis, Club Brugge’s winger, in a deal worth around €41 million. The Greece international, who was also on Sporting’s radar in this transfer window, is expected to strengthen Mikel Arteta’s side.

The gunners’ move comes at a time when Leandro Trossard is getting closer and closer to joining Besiktas. Faced with the possible departure of the Belgium international, Arsenal’s board stepped up negotiations with Club Brugge to secure a quality replacement for the attacking department.

Manchester United were also closely monitoring Tzolis’ situation, but ultimately lost ground in the race for the player. The need to keep the wage bill under control and the uncertainty surrounding Marcus Rashford’s future led the red devils to pull back, leaving the path virtually clear for their London rivals.

After a standout season in Belgian football, the 24-year-old is now preparing to make the jump to the Premier League. According to 'The Sun', Arsenal are securing one of the most highly rated wingers in the transfer market.

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, the Greek winger scored 22 goals and provided 29 assists for his teammates.
