Christos Tzolis

Bradley Barcola Situation • Moussa Sissoko has been trying to renew Bradley Barcola’s contract for the best part of 9-12 months. Talks have been difficult, and it reached a point where both parties agreed to put negotiations on hold so that Barcola and PSG could focus on important fixtures in April and May. • Soon after the UEFA Champions League final, talks resumed and remain ongoing. The player reportedly told people close to him that he was disappointed not to start a number of important fixtures. • PSG’s position is clear: renew or we will sell, as his contract expires in June 2028. Personally, I think that is a significant stance for the club to take. • Barcola’s agent also represents Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué and maintains a good relationship with PSG. The club is also in serious talks regarding Yan Diomande and Maghnes Akliouche, which could further influence the situation surrounding Barcola. Both Arsenal and Liverpool are interested, but I want to explain Arsenal’s side of the story. • Andrea Berta made serious enquiries into Barcola’s situation last summer. At the time, Arsenal were informed that the player would stay for at least one more year. Since then, Berta has remained in constant contact with Sissoko and has made it clear that Barcola is of serious interest to Arsenal. He has also asked to be notified if PSG become open to a sale. Should Arsenal make an official approach towards PSG, there will be a further update. • Arsenal also hold an interest in Morgan Rogers and one other player(sensitive info currently). More on that in due course. • As always, Andrea Berta is willing to agree personal terms with multiple targets and make a move when the timing suits Arsenal. Before I sign off, there is something worth noting. Berta is very happy for misinformation to circulate publicly. Berta & Co are busy behind the scenes, and many details remain unknown as Arsenal move silently. Allow me to provide a free exclusive as an example of that which is unknown. Arsenal made standard checks on Nico Paz. Nico was reportedly left confused following a recent call with Mourinho, although another conversation may be scheduled. Arsenal have also made serious checks on Christos Tzolis, the Greek winger. My point is that a great deal is happening behind the curtain. Embrace the silence and, as always, choose your sources of information carefully. HandofArsenal

Arsenal are in direct contact with Club Brugge to sign Christos Tzolis. As I reported earlier, player is very keen but the fee will be key. Data team at Arsenal highly impressed for a while with Greek winger. Market opportunity which wont affect main target or Monga deal.

Arsenal are in talks with Club Brugge for Christos Tzolis as @HandofArsenal called. Belgium side want close to £35m. As previously revealed on @talkSPORT, Morgan Rogers remains a leading target in addition. Bradley Barcola and Junior Kroupi are the other viable options for a starting left-wing spot at the club. Liverpool also tracking Barcola. PSG are prepared to consider a sale if they reinforce with another attacker even though contract extensions talks are also active. Julian Alvarez also a dream target for Arsenal. Jeremy Monga talks remain advanced. Arsenal also working on outgoings. Saudi interest in Gabriel Martinelli remains. Bournemouth one club who have enquired on Leandro Trossard, who is also drawing interest from Europe.🔴

🗣️ Christos Tzolis on why he joined Arsenal. Tzolis will wear No.17. "It's absolutely amazing to sign for such a big club, the champions of England. I'm very proud to be part of this team for the next season... "I had a nice conversation [with Mikel Arteta]. It was around an hour. We talked about everything, about the club, about myself, about his plans, about me of course, about the team. It was only positive things. "I'm a direct player, I go for goals or assists. That's my point of view as an attacker, as a winger. I'm always hungry to score or to give the final pass to my teammates. And I can say I work hard for the team, also in the defensive part."
