Christos Tzolis (OFFICIAL)

tazmania

I know nothing about him. 40M euroes for a 24 year old from Belgium league seems insane but that's the way she goes now

Gunner89

Hmmm...Milan brought Jashari and De Ketalare at approx the same

Doku, David and Thiago were approx 30m too and 2 of those were 5 years ago, market inflated a lot since then

Don Pacifico

So long as he's not a direct replacement for either Trossard or Martinelli (and we're getting a proper first choice winger), this is a decent signing. Not expecting much from him.

Meatwad

Don Pacifico
trossard isn't a proper first choice winger, so i'm sure this guy is the replacement for him. this move shouldn't impact the search for an actual top tier winger (if any that's available are actually top tier) who wouldn't be a direct replacement for anyone.

This summer will be like the one from two seasons ago.

Tzolis, Bruno and a defender.

That's it.

Don Pacifico

Meatwad agreed but he was our first choice. My point is, I don't want Tzolis getting that many minutes (and I don't want Rogers as our first choice LW).

Meatwad

Don Pacifico
it shouldn't be hard for a 40m euro player to match trossard's 2025-26 productivity. i watched trossard play. unless he's the bee's knees i hope he doesn't get as many minutes as trossard did because trossard shouldn't have gotten as many minutes as he did.

I have become unironically Tzolis-pilled. I reckon there's a good chance that he's a legitimately good player.

Welcome. Looked comfortable playing against City at the Etihad. Bodes well

Burnwinter

I'm honestly psyched if Tzolis can just come off the bench a few times to score a worldie. He's also 5'10" so we'll be getting a bit of stature for our Fabio Vieira monopoly money this time round. So long as he's a stocking filler and not the centrepiece of our business, this is an upbeat signing.

Welcome Christos! Hope you settle in well and excited to see what you can do in the red and white.

Happy with this as squad depth have no worries about him in the cups and CL and hopefully he can adapt and prove to be a very useful option on the left in the league too.

Another player added to our fit for start of the season list. Think we're up to about 5 now.

Pretty sure we will get Rogers as the first choice and call it a day in terms of attacking signings. But let's see, still a lot of time left.

Ray

Has Fabio Vieira vibes about it.

Gunner89

Ray ummm...except the fact that vieira had only one regular full season in his career as opposed to tzolis who's played way more

GooneriC

What's the thoughts on De Ketelare?

lorddulaarsenal

Chalk me up as a fan. Looks mustard.

TambourineMan

Meh.

Dom

Damn, £34m these days doesn’t even buy you someone with a promising YouTube compilation.

USArsenal

40m is quite a bit, but do you guys think he will be worse than Noni? Its the going rate for decent players in this market. Too many seem so shush this transfer before he even plays for us. And some of you same people want us to sign Mavrapanos.. Lulz.

Gunner89

USArsenal

it's not 40m, its 33m

That's about close to what chelsea paid for noni not the 50% markup we paid after him being bang average at chelsea

Qwiss

Gunner89 yeah they bought Vieira young hoping he'd become something and he didn't. Tzolis is 24, the expectation will be that he's already got the required quality and will just need time to adapt.
