Club Brugge forward Christos Tzolis has “agreed personal terms” with Arsenal ahead of his switch to the Emirates, according to journalist Nicolo Schira.
Posting on his X account, the Gazzetta Dello Sport reporter said that the Greek international will sign a five-year contract, keeping him with the Gunners until the summer of 2031:

Tzolis is believed to have rejected approaches from other clubs in order to secure his move to the Premier League champions.
How much will Arsenal pay for the winger?
It is believed a fee between £30m and £35m will be enough to secure Tzolis’s signature, which is not a bad deal considering his outstanding performances last season.
The former Norwich City player managed to rack up 22 goals and 29 assists across all competitions for Club Brugge, which undoubtedly played a large part in the Gunners’ determination to snap him up.
Tzolis will replace Trossard
A move for the 24-year-old has been in the works for quite some time, but Mikel Arteta’s side were waiting for Leandro Trossard to leave the Emirates first.
The Belgian international has agreed to join Turkish Super Lig giants Besiktas, who will pay €18m upfront and another €2m in performance-related add-ons.
Trossard contributed massively to the club winning their first Premier League title in 22 years, having scored a vital goal against West Ham during the run-in.
However, the 31-year-old had less than a year left on his contract, and it was decided that it was the best time to part ways. It remains to be seen if Tzolis will be a worthy successor.
