How Christos Tzolis can instantly create history as Arsenal 'complete' deal
Arsenal supporters are patiently waiting for Christos Tzolis' arrival to be announced ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
The 24-year-old notched 22 goals and 29 assists in 52 games for Club Brugge last season, capping off another incredible season in Belgium.
Some fans in England may remember his rather difficult time at Norwich City, where his career was nearly totally derailed by Daniel Farke.
He has since rebuilt his career at Fortuna Dusseldorf and Club Brugge, and could now be set to make history upon returning to the English pyramind.
Journalists have reported Tzolis has agreed to join Arsenal, with the fee rising to £34million.
The Greek international is expected to come in as a direct replacement for Leandro Trossard, who has already joined Turkish giants Besiktas.
Christos Tzolis set to be history-maker
Tzolis has produced an eye-watering number of goals and assists in Belgium and Europe over the last two seasons, earning his move to the Premier League champions.
And it would also appear that he's earned the rapid rise in transfer value, which could see him break an all-time record for Greek players.
Kostas Manolas' move to Napoli in 2019 saw the centre-half become the most expensive Greek player of all time, with £30.6m spent on his signature.
Brighton signing Charalampos Kostoulas couldn't quite eclipse that fee last summer, but that is all about to change at the Emirates Stadium.
If reported fees are correct, Tzolis will become the most expensive Greek footballer in history, moving £3.6m ahead of the previous holder.
How Arsenal can help another club make history
The Gunners' business is unlikely to stop at Tzolis, with Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers high on the list of targets this summer.
It would appear that the Villans need to sell the England international for financial reasons, leaving many at Villa Park absolutely gutted.
Villa have recorded some rather expensive departures over the last few years, not least with Jack Grealish's £100m move to Manchester City.
However, should Arsenal strike a deal for Rogers in the coming weeks, his transfer fee is likely to shatter Villa's most expensive exit.
