About Christos Tzolis
Christos Tzolis is a Greek winger who joined Arsenal from Club Brugge on 23 July 2026 for £34m, a record sale for the Belgian Pro League, signing a five-year deal and taking the number 17 shirt. Born in Thessaloniki, he came through the PAOK academy, had a difficult spell at Norwich City, then rebuilt his career with 22 goals on loan at Fortuna Düsseldorf before two outstanding seasons in Bruges, where he was named Belgian Pro League Player of the Season twice and won the 2025-26 title. A right-footed player who cuts in from the left, he was signed as the replacement for Leandro Trossard and made an instant impact with two assists on his debut in the 3-0 Community Shield win over Manchester City.
