Arsenal reach and then complete an agreement to sign Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis. Multiple outlets report that the clubs agree a fee of about €40 million (often cited as around £34 million). Reporting indicates the transfer is for the Greek international, who has been targeted as an attacking option for the Premier League side.
Once the deal is in place, Arsenal are reported to announce the signing, with at least one report saying this happens immediately. The Athletic and Sky Sports report that Tzolis signs a five-year contract with Arsenal. The Athletic also states he will wear the number 17 shirt. Other coverage frames the move as imminent or close to completion, but the central points remain consistent across sources: Arsenal agree a transfer fee with Club Brugge, Tzolis joins the club, and he is set to sign on a long-term deal.
The reports do not provide additional details beyond the fee, contract length, and shirt number.
