Premier League club Arsenal announced on Thursday the signing of Greek forward Christos Tzolis from Belgian side Club Brugge on a long-term contract.
British media reports said that the 24-year-old joined the North London club for £34 million ($45.40 million), making the deal the most expensive transfer in Belgian professional league history.
In a statement, Tzolis said:
"I think I need some time to take it all in! It is absolutely amazing to sign for such a big club, the champions of England. I am very proud to be part of this team for next season."
Tzolis joins Arsenal after an impressive two-year spell with Club Brugge, where he made 108 appearances in all competitions, scoring 43 goals and providing 45 assists.
He helped the Belgian club win the Belgian Cup in 2025 and was named the Belgian Professional League Player of the Season after Club Brugge secured the league title.
The Greek international began his career with PAOK in Greece before moving to Norwich City in 2021. He made 14 Premier League appearances before moving to Belgium in 2024.
At the international level, Tzolis represented Greece at various youth levels before making his senior national team debut in October 2020. He has since earned 34 international caps.
