Christos Tzolis has arrived in London to undergo his Arsenal medical and complete the final formalities of his move to the Premier League champions, according to reports.

The Gunners agreed a deal to sign the winger from Belgian Pro League side Club Brugge last week and it seems like he is now as close as ever to making the move official.

There had been a feeling that Tzolis' transfer would be completed this week and Arsenal fans could be getting their wish as he arrives in the capital to go one step closer.


Christos Tzolis in London to complete Arsenal move

Reports in Greece over the weekend and on Monday claimed Tzolis was set to land in London today to finalise his move to the Gunners with the hopes of officially announcing him as the latest addition to Mikel Arteta's setup on Wednesday.

Tzolis is set to join Arsenal for a fee of £34million, a number that saw the English champions meet the asking price of their Belgian counterparts. He is expected to sign for the club as a direct replacement for Leandro Trossard, who signed for Beşiktaş last week to bring an end to his three-and-a-half year spell in North London.

His move across Europe has effectively already been confirmed by Club Brugge manager Ivan Leko, who expressed his happiness for Tzolis but also his sadness about losing him, in an interview with DAZN.

He isn't expected to be the only addition to the left flank this summer though with Gabriel Martinelli rumoured to be up for sale and a move for Morgan Rogers breaking down following a £117m hijack by Chelsea on Saturday evening.

Some fans have criticised the signing of Tzolis as they believe he isn't up to the quality to meet the standards set by Trossard, which has been further prompted by the links with another winger, considering he has already spent time in the Premier League with Norwich City, suffering relegation in the 2021/22 season.

However, he should be able to offer plenty to Arteta's squad due to what he provided for Club Brugge last campaign. He scored 22 goals and provided 29 assists in 52 appearances across all competitions to help his side to a 20th Belgian Pro League title.

Regardless of what fans think, the move is close to being confirmed as he arrives in London to complete his medical and formalities so there is no going back now with Tzolis likely to be announced as an Arsenal player later this week.
