Tzolis is expected to become the Gunners’ second signing of the summer transfer window following the earlier arrival of French goalkeeper Illan Meslier. They have signed Piero Hincapie in a permanent deal from Bayer Leverkusen for £34.5m as planned following his loan spell last term. Arsenal are also looking for a new centre-back, with France international William Saliba likely to be unavailable for the next five months.
Former Manchester City defender John Stones is reportedly being eyed as a short-term cover for the Frenchman.
The England international is a free agent after leaving the Sky Blues in the summer, and Arteta is eyeing a potential reunion.
