Arsenal close on $40 million move for Club Brugge winger Tzolis
What's next: The Greece international is expected to take a medical and sign a long-term deal after a formal bid is filed.
Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis after reaching a verbal agreement on a deal worth about 40 million euros, or roughly $43 million. British media reported the formal offer is still to come, but it is viewed as a final step before the 24-year-old undergoes a medical and completes a long-term contract. Tzolis is set to replace Leandro Trossard, who left for Besiktas this week. The Greece international scored 22 goals last season and previously played in England with Norwich City. Reports said Arsenal still plan to add more attacking help this summer, with interest in Julian Alvarez, Morgan Rogers and Bradley Barcola.
