\n Tzolis\u2019s form for Belgian side Club Brugge has attracted a host of admirers \u2013 a far cry from his time at Carrow Road when he failed to settle and after 27 appearances in three years departed in the summer of 2024.\n<\/p>\n
\n And Arsenal appear to have won the chase for the Greece international following the exit of 31-year-old Leandro Trossard, who has moved from Arsenal to Turkish side Besiktas.\n<\/p>\n
\n Besiktas are reportedly paying \u00a315.3m for Trossard, having agreed personal terms \u2013 all of which was settled before the start of the World Cup.\n<\/p>\n
\n Trossard\u2019s agent had claimed that the Belgian could end up staying at Arsenal \u2013 which would have meant the end of any deal for Tzolis.\n<\/p>\n
\n Dirk Hebel says Trossard has yet to make a decision on his long-term future, and that remaining with the Gunners does not appear to be out of the question.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI can confirm that Besiktas did everything they could to sign Leandro Trossard,\u201d he said in an interview with Sky in Germany. \u201cHowever, no decision has been made yet.\n<\/p>\n
\n But Trossard was pictured on social media wearing the Besiktas kit, which could open the door for Tzolis \u2013 who would cost Arsenal around \u00a335m, although the Gunners are reportedly also interested in Aston Villa\u2019s Morgan Rogers.\n<\/p>\n
\n Journalist Fabrizio Romano claims Arsenal are not the only club to be interested in the former Canary.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cTzolis is keen on a move to Arsenal,\u201d said Romano. \u201cThere was another club trying to enter the race over the recent days, trying to understand if they can advance in negotiations to sign Tzolis from Club Brugge.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cBut the answer arrived from the player\u2019s camp has been: \u2018we are waiting for Arsenal\u2019, and so is giving priority to the Gunners as a serious possibility to eventually replace Leandro Trossard.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Greek sports journalists Dimitris Manakos says on X: “My information is that Arsenal will submit an official bid for Christos Tzolis very soon, and it\u2019s expected to be accepted.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tzolis\u2019s form for Belgian side Club Brugge has attracted a host of admirers \u2013 a far cry from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":691389,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-691388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=691388"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691388\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/691389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=691388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=691388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=691388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
