Why Arsenal saw Christos Tzolis as a better bet than Mbappé or Diaz

Arsenal have completed the signing of 24‑year‑old Greek forward Christos Tzolis, hailed as one of the most productive players in Europe. The Gunners believe his record will add a new dimension to their attack.

Tzolis spent last season at Club Brugge, where he proved more decisive than many world‑class stars. He even kept training during his vacation to ensure he was ready for a top‑level transfer.

The Gunners were convinced by the statistical evidence of his output at Club Brugge, which showed a level of efficiency that outshone the numbers of high‑profile names such as Kylian Mbappé and Luis Diaz.
