Sporting Director Praises Versatility
Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta highlighted the recruit's tactical versatility and technical capability following the announcement.
"Christos is an extremely versatile attacking player who naturally operates on the left but is comfortable across the front line," Berta said.
"He's an excellent finisher with both feet, thrives in tight spaces, and possesses incredible technical ability.
Christos has produced outstanding numbers in terms of goals and assists over the last three seasons, and he's a player who will raise the technical level of our squad, while bringing positive energy, enthusiasm, and a strong mentality to our team."
Before his spell in Belgium, Tzolis spent three years at Norwich City after starting his career with PAOK.
