Christos Tzolis has netted nine goals in 33 appearances for Greece

Arsenal have been presented with the opportunity to sign Club Brugge forward Christos Tzolis and are contemplating expediting a move for the Greece international.

Sources have indicated that sporting director Andrea Berta is actively pursuing the prospective transfer.

Arsenal's recruitment specialist Maurizio Micheli travelled to Sweden last week to assess the 24-year-old Tzolis.

Sources are indicating that Arsenal's interest is genuine, with manager Mikel Arteta reportedly supportive of the acquisition.

Tzolis could be available for approximately £35m.

Crystal Palace attempted to sign Tzolis last summer but were unsuccessful in their efforts.

Arsenal have made signing a new attacker their top priority this summer and also hold a sincere interest in Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers.

Tzolis, who began his career at PAOK, scored three goals in 30 appearances for Norwich between 2021 and 2024.

He enjoyed a more productive spell in the German second division with Fortuna Dusseldorf, notching 22 goals in 30 league matches before moving to Club Brugge.

He has scored 33 times across two seasons for the Belgian side, who secured their 20th league title last term.
