Christos Tzolis wants to join Arsenal this summer as Mikel Arteta’s side continue to assess attacking reinforcements.
Fabrizio Romano reports Arsenal remain in regular contact with the Club Brugge winger’s camp over a potential move.
Tzolis is keen on the switch, but any deal may depend on Leandro Trossard’s future. Besiktas are pushing to sign the Belgian, and Arsenal could move quicker for a left-sided attacker if he leaves.
The 24-year-old enjoyed a strong season in Belgium, scoring 22 goals and adding 29 assists in 52 matches across all competitions.

Arsenal Eye Trossard Replacement
Tzolis would give Arsenal another direct option from the left.
He struggled to make an impact at Norwich City earlier in his career, but his form at Club Brugge has rebuilt his reputation. The Greece international now looks ready for another Premier League chance.
Now Arsenal reports Club Brugge are expected to sanction a sale if their valuation is met. The fee could set a new Belgian Pro League record, surpassing the €37.5m AC Milan paid for Charles De Ketelaere in 2022.
Arsenal’s interest also fits the wider forward search. ReadArsenal has tracked Morgan Rogers’ situation as Aston Villa hold firm on their £130m stance, but Tzolis would represent a different type of deal.
Rogers remains the more expensive Premier League-ready target. Tzolis offers European form, flexibility and a lower price point.
For now, Trossard’s decision is likely to shape the timing. If Besiktas push through a deal, Arsenal already have a willing replacement lined up.
