Arsenal have signed Greece forward Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge on a long-term contract, the Premier League club has announced.
The 24-year-old joins the north London side for a reported fee of €40 million, according to British media reports, a record for the Belgian Pro League.
“I need some time to realize it, I think! It’s absolutely amazing to sign for such a big club, the champions of England. I’m very proud to be part of this team for the next season,” he said in a statement.
“Christos is an extremely versatile attacking player who naturally operates on the left but is comfortable across the front line,” Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta said. “He’s an excellent finisher with both feet, thrives in tight spaces, and possesses incredible technical ability.”
Tzolis arrives after an impressive two-year spell with Club Brugge, where he made 108 appearances in all competitions, scoring 43 goals and providing 45 assists.
