The north London club are on the hunt for a left-winger in the January transfer window and believe that the Club Brugge star would be a great signing for Thomas Frank\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/tottenham-hotspur\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tottenham<\/a> have been following Tzolis in recent months and have the 23-year-old on their list for a potential bid in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>Sources have told us that Club Brugge would demand at least \u20ac40million (\u00a335m, $47m) to let the Greek winger leave in the middle of the season.<\/p>\n<p>While Tottenham will feel that they have the financial capability to meet those demands, last season\u2019s Europa League winners will not be pleased to hear that Tzolis wants to join <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/liverpool\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The winger has said that he is not going to push for a move away from the Belgian club in the middle of the season, but a switch to Liverpool or Barcelona would be something that he would jump at.<\/p>\n<p>Tzolis\u00a0told <a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nieuwsblad.be\/sport\/voetbal\/ik-wil-club-brugge-enkel-voor-een-echt-topteam-verlaten-wij-spraken-met-christos-tzolis-topfavoriet-voor-de-gouden-schoen\/122348956.html\" target=\"_blank\">Het Nieuwsblad<\/a> when asked about joining Atletico Madrid: \u201cI want to go to a top team.

Maybe you know more than I do (laughs).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to win the title here first. Although you never know, so I can\u2019t say with 100% certainty that I\u2019ll stay this winter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a crazy team comes along, like Barcelona, \u200b\u200bLiverpool\u2026 Anyway, you know what I mean.

I like the way Crystal Palace plays football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI considered whether it might be a good opportunity or not, but I immediately told Devy Rigaux and the staff that I wouldn\u2019t push.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be bad for the team if I didn\u2019t want to train or play because I wanted to secure a transfer. That\u2019s not how I am.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA month earlier, I had signed a new contract. But okay, everyone listens when there\u2019s an offer, although I didn\u2019t want to go to Crystal Palace at any cost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStaying was also perfectly fine. I don\u2019t regret anything.
