Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis is reportedly holding out for a move to Arsenal, with the Gunners weighing up a £34 million transfer.
Christos Tzolis is reportedly prepared to delay any decision over his future as he waits to see whether Arsenal will follow up their interest with a formal move this summer.
The Premier League champions have made enquiries about the Club Brugge winger as they search for a replacement following Leandro Trossard’s departure. Arsenal are currently assessing several attacking options, with Tzolis among the names under serious consideration.

The Greece international enjoyed an outstanding 2025/26 campaign in Belgium, scoring 16 goals and registering 23 assists to establish himself as one of the Pro League’s most productive attacking players.
Reports suggest Arsenal would need to pay around £34 million to secure the 24-year-old, although the club has yet to decide whether to advance negotiations with Club Brugge.
Despite attracting interest from other clubs, Tzolis is said to be unwilling to entertain alternative offers until Arsenal reach a final decision. The winger is keen on a return to English football and views a move to the Emirates Stadium as his preferred destination.
