Official! Arteta gets Sporting target to sign for Arsenal till 2031 | OneFootball

It’s official. Arsenal have announced the signing of Christos Tzolis, who leaves Club Brugge to strengthen the English champions. The 24-year-old Greek winger, who was on Sporting’s list of targets, has signed with the ‘Gunners’ until 2031, in a deal reportedly worth around €40 million.

Sporting director Andrea Berta expressed his satisfaction with the completion of the deal: "We are very pleased to have completed the signing of Christos Tzolis. He is an extremely versatile attacking player who naturally operates on the left, but feels comfortable across the entire front line. He is an excellent finisher with both feet, stands out in tight spaces, and possesses incredible technical ability," he said.

Tzolis also expressed his happiness at signing for the current English champions: "I think I need some time to take it all in. It’s absolutely incredible to sign for such a big club, the champions of England. I’m very proud to be part of this team next season. When my agent told me it might be a possibility, I was already excited. Then things became more serious, and now I’m here," he said.

The Greek international also revealed that a conversation with Mikel Arteta was decisive in accepting Arsenal’s project: "I had a very good conversation. It lasted about an hour. We talked about everything: about the club, about me, about his plans, and about the team. We only talked about positive things," said the winger.
