Arsenal Close to Signing Christos Tzolis From Club Brugge

Overview

• Multiple reports on July 10 say Arsenal are close to finalising a deal for Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis for a fee reported at about £35 million, with the player awaiting medical and paperwork.
• Tzolis is being pursued after a standout 2025/26 season in Belgium that produced high goal and assist totals and drew interest from several European clubs.
• Media outlets say Arsenal have reached a verbal agreement with Besiktas for Leandro Trossard’s sale, a move that clubs report would accelerate Arsenal’s push to recruit a left‑sided attacker.
• Arsenal continue to track other left‑wing options, with Morgan Rogers described as a top target and noted competition and price differentials likely to affect which signing is prioritised.
• The club is also carrying out youth recruitment work — including an 18‑year‑old visitor to the training ground — and none of the senior moves had been officially confirmed by Arsenal at the time of these reports.
