**Christos Tzolis** spoke to the media about his ongoing progression for **Arsenal** during preseason.
The Greek attacker is still the only offensive signing for the _Gunners_ from the transfer market, having moved for a fee of **£34 million** from **Club Brugge** last month. Since then, he has not wasted time making an impact on the field.
He scored on his debut against **Girona**, provided assists against **Real Betis** and **Borussia Dortmund**, and dispatched the winning penalty in the shootout against Como.
·**'I feel I've adapted well in the team'**
-------------------------------------------
The **24-year-old** opened up about making that decisive strike in the friendly on Wednesday evening and how he has felt about integrating into the camp of the **Premier League** defending champions.
_"That was exactly how I wanted to shoot it. Because I was with_ **_Kai Havertz_** _in the middle line and he asked me, where are you going to shoot it? I said, there, very hard, and he said, I want to see it. I hit it very good. I wanted to shoot like this and I'm happy that it was in, and it was a nice penalty."_
_"I feel I've adapted well in the team. The guys helped me a lot on the pitch and also off the pitch; it was also important for me, and it was really nice to have the pre-season from the beginning with my new team, and now to be ready for the official games. So, I think it was a positive pre-season for me."_

·**Community Shield showdown next**
-----------------------------------
Next on the schedule is a showdown with **Manchester City** in the Community Shield. Though **Arsenal** beat the _Citizens_ to the top spot in the table, they lost **2-0** in the **Carabao Cup** final and failed to win either of their league meetings. This is a chance to rewrite history a little more.
_"It's a nice opportunity to start the season with a trophy. That's our target and I think everyone is on the same page for this game, and we hope we're going to show it on the pitch."_
