Tzolis In, Trossard Out: Arsenal's Latest Winger Shuffle

This Greek winger, 24 years old, once of Norwich City fame – or infamy, depending on your loyalties – finally landed at the Emirates. His Belgian stint? Productive, no doubt. Last season, he racked up 17 goals and 23 assists. That's 36 league games. Pretty clear he was Club Brugge's main man up front.

Sky Sports says he’s filling Trossard’s shoes. A versatile attacker, apparently, good anywhere across the front. Andrea Berta, Arsenal's sporting director, was quick to wax lyrical. Called him an "excellent finisher with both feet." Said he "thrives in tight spaces." Always good to hear, isn't it? Work rate, technical quality – the usual soundbites.

Oh, but let's not pretend he was Plan A. This signing only came after Morgan Rogers, their *real* target, went to Chelsea for a British-record £117m. Ouch. Arsenal isn't done, though. Still sniffing around for more forwards. Bradley Barcola's name is still on the list, apparently.

No 17 shirt for Tzolis. And here’s a shocker: he actually *stays* on the pitch. His injury record at Brugge? Impressive. Rarely out for more than two games. His old assistant manager, Hayk Milkon, had a few thoughts. Said Tzolis shines closest to goal. Left flank, central. That's where he's most effective. But, sure, he can play wide if you really need him to.

For Greece, he's got nine goals in 34 caps. Make of that what you will.
