Arsenal are exploring a move for Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis, per journalist David Ornstein.
The Gunners will have to pay €40 million (£34.5m) to bring him to the Emirates Stadium. He bagged 22 goals and 29 assists in 52 appearances for Club Brugge across all competitions last term.
His tally built on the 37-goal contributions of the previous season and the 23-goal haul he produced during a prolific spell in Germany’s second tier.
Despite signing a new contract with the club until 2029 last summer, Tzolis continues to attract attention across Europe, with Arsenal the latest suitors.
Arsenal’s pursuit of Tzolis does not interfere with their ongoing interest in Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers.
They are keen to strengthen multiple attacking positions and continue to assess several targets ahead of the new campaign.
Arsenal have also explored a move for Kenan Yildiz. However, Juventus made it clear that the Turkish international is not available, forcing Arsenal to focus on alternative options.
Tzolis is no stranger to English football after joining Norwich City from PAOK in 2021. He struggled to establish himself in the Premier League during his time at the club.
However, the winger has since rebuilt his reputation through impressive spells in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
Arsenal are particularly keen to add competition on the left flank, where questions remain over the long-term futures of Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli.
He’d be an upgrade on both players as neither of them measures up to his level of production.
His Champions League experience and impressive goalscoring record make him an attractive option for the Gunners as they prepare for another challenge on multiple fronts.
