Why new Arsenal signing Christos Tzolis has already returned to former club

metro.co.uk · 3 hours ago

Christos Tzolis was back in Belgium on Sunday after starring for Arsenal on Friday (Picture: Getty Images) Christos Tzolis has made an impressive start to his Arsenal career and he is clearly still a big fan favourite with his former side Club Brugge. The 24-year-old arrived at Arsenal from the Belgian side this summer in a £34 million move and is already showing impressive signs. The Greece international provided two assists in the 3-0 Community Shield win over Manchester City and another on his Premier League debut as Arsenal beat Coventry 3-0 on Friday. The former Norwich City player looks like he has a good chance of making the left wing spot his own at the Emirates, but he was already back at one of his old clubs on Sunday.

Tzolis returned to Club Brugge on Sunday as a guest for their derby clash with Cercle Brugge, which they won 1-0. The Greek was paraded on the pitch and given a great reception from the home fans, despite leaving the club just last month, even taking a fake kick-off before the game. Clearly they were not holding his move to the Premier League champions against him after two successful seasons in Belgium, which saw him score 43 goals in 108 appearances across all competitions.

I think he’s earned it. ‘The way he has performed in the last few games has been phenomenal. What he transmits as a player is so direct, so incisive, constantly. ‘He wants to make things happen and he has an incredible variety of actions in the last 30 metres. ‘It’s up to him to make the right decisions. Even the spaces are sometimes really, really small. I’m very happy with him.’ Tzolis may well become a fan favourite at Arsenal as well (Picture: Getty Images) After impressing against Coventry, Gunners captain Martin Odegaard told the BBC of the Greek star: ‘Amazing – he played a brilliant game. ‘He has been brilliant all pre-season. He’s so lively. It’s hard to defend [against] him. He’s a really intelligent player. He always looks up and finds the right pass.’ Tzolis has taken a unique path to Arsenal, which started at PAOK in his home country before a forgettable spell with Norwich. He played 30 times for the Canaries after signing for them in August 2021 when they were in the Premier League, but made little impact. After an impressive loan spell at Fortuna Dusseldorf the German side exercised an option to sign him permanently, but then quickly sold him to Club Brugge for €6m (£5.14m).

sports.yahoo.com · 6 hours ago

Arsenal have been trying to bring in an elite forward during the window to bolster their attack but summer signing Christos Tzolis has already shown that he could play a significant attacking role this season. Tzolis arrived for £34m after producing the best season of his career at Club Brugge, where he scored 17 times and provided 23 assists as they were crowned champions in Belgium. In his short time so far at Arsenal, Tzolis has excited supporters with his performances during pre-season and registered two assists in the Community Shield win over Manchester City.

Man Utd and Chelsea make approach to sign £43m Barcelona transfer target

metro.co.uk · 13 hours ago

Man Utd and Chelsea have expressed interest in deals (Picture: Getty) Manchester United and Chelsea have expressed interest in signing a new striker before the end of the summer transfer window. Man United’s dismal opening-day defeat to newly-promoted Hull City could spark the club into transfer action before the summer window closes on September 3. Virtually all of United’s focus so far this summer has been on midfield reinforcements, with Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos completing moves to Old Trafford and Carlos Baleba set to follow suit in a £70m deal from Brighton. Michael Carrick is also interested in signing a new left-back before the transfer deadline, while several pundits are of the opinion a new striker is needed to support Benjamin Sesko. Exclusive Premier League previews Get ahead of the start of the season with our weekly football newsletter. Sign up now for free. £73m signing Sesko was benched for United’s Premier League opener after struggling with a shin injury over the summer, with Matheus Cunha leading the line to little effect. Owen Hargreaves urged Old Trafford bosses to sign a new striker after the shock defeat to Hull, telling TNT Sports: ‘I think they could probably do with another striker option. ‘I think that showed today, Sesko didn’t start and Cunha played a little bit deeper. He’s a 10, and plays very effective off the left. Man Utd boss Michael Carrick (Picture: Getty) ‘But I do think with Baleba coming into the team, it is a good squad and it is a top four squad, I just think they were at their best last season counter attacking teams. ‘They were at their best counter attacking teams, remember the first ones, Carrick’s first games against City and Arsenal. ‘Today where they had possession of the ball they didn’t look like scoring. I think it will be easier when the space opens up. Today there wasn’t that. {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Carrick reflects on disappointing start as Man United lose to Hull","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/08\/22\/3200761093652133798\/480x270_MP4_3200761093652133798.mp4","description":"Press conference with Manchester United manager Michael Carrick following their 2-0 loss to Hull City at the MKM Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.","duration":"T6M44S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/08\/22\/16\/110791853-0-image-m-13_1787413415956.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-08-22T16:42:41+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); ‘I think they go back to the drawing board and look at what they can do differently.’ Premier League legend Wayne Rooney, meanwhile, said Carrick’s side ‘offered nothing’ going forward against a Hull side who conceded 66 goals in the Championship last season. ‘United were dreadful in all positions, particularly up front. They offered nothing,’ Shearer said on BBC’s Match of the Day. Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi (Picture: Getty) ‘There was only one team going to win. It’s a worrying thing.

‘Not good enough’ – Gary Neville tells Man Utd to sign two players before transfer deadline

metro.co.uk · 16 hours ago

Manchester United legend Gary Neville (Picture: Sky Sports) Gary Neville has urged Manchester United to make two more signings before the transfer deadline as Michael Carrick’s defence was exposed in the shock opening-day defeat to Hull City. The Red Devils suffered a hugely disappointing 2-0 defeat to newly-promoted Hull on Saturday. United have had a fairly subdued summer transfer window to date, with Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos the club’s only two major signings. Manchester United are also set to welcome Carlos Baleba to Old Trafford after agreeing a £70m deal with Brighton. Exclusive Premier League previews Get ahead of the start of the season with our weekly football newsletter. Sign up now for free. A midfield rebuild was necessary following Casemiro’s departure and Manuel Ugarte’s long-term injury but Neville believes defensive reinforcements are also needed. As a result Neville wants his former club to sign a new centre-back and at least one new full-back before the summer transfer window closes on September 3. Assessing Manchester United’s disappointing defeat to Hull, Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast: ‘Hull did everything they had to in terms of competing, being aggressive, organised and hard to break down. Man Utd were stunned by Hull City (Picture: Reuters) ‘Manchester United fell short in those areas in the early stages of the game and they have struggled at times against teams that play deeper. ‘It’s a massive wake-up call. Hull didn’t just match Man United physically but were better than them in that area and that will be the big disappointment for Michael Carrick. ‘Too many players were well below par and he will want that to just be a blip, you can’t let it stretch into next weekend as well, they have to be at it. {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Carrick reflects on disappointing start as Man United lose to Hull","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/08\/22\/3200761093652133798\/480x270_MP4_3200761093652133798.mp4","description":"Press conference with Manchester United manager Michael Carrick following their 2-0 loss to Hull City at the MKM Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.","duration":"T6M44S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/08\/22\/16\/110791853-0-image-m-13_1787413415956.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-08-22T16:42:41+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); ‘What it did highlight is that Man United defence isn’t good enough. To be fair the club probably know that, they rebuilt the forward line last summer and rebuilt the midfield this summer with a few signings. ‘I don’t know if they’ve got the money or not but they do need a centre-back, and they do need full-backs. They just do. There’s no other way of putting it really. That was highlighted yesterday.’ Manchester United will be desperate for a better performance next weekend when Ipswich Town visit the Theatre of Dreams. Incoming Man Utd signing Carlos Baleba (Picture: Getty) Speaking after his side lost to Hull, the favourites to finish bottom this season, Carrick said: ‘It’s one game. It’s the first game of the season so it’s disappointing enough and it hurts, of course it does. ‘But it’s one game, it doesn’t change the whole course of the direction the team or the football club is going in.
