Arsenal is weighing a move worth roughly €40 million for Christos Tzolis, the 24-year-old Greek winger who has been quietly dismantling defenses in the Belgian Pro League. If the deal goes through at that price, it would shatter the Belgian transfer record.
That record currently sits at €37.5 million. Club Brugge, fully aware of what they have, is not interested in offering a discount.
From Norwich castoff to record-breaking price tag
He joined Club Brugge from Norwich City in July 2024 for approximately €6.5 million. That €6.5 million investment now looks like one of the shrewdest pieces of transfer business in recent Belgian football history. If Brugge sell at their asking price, they’re looking at a return north of 500% in under two years.
The numbers explain why. Tzolis recorded 17 goals and 23 assists in a single league season for Brugge. In one standout performance, he contributed 1 goal and 3 assists in a single match.
