Christos Tzolis is confident he can succeed in the Premier League after joining Arsenal from Club Brugge.
The Greece international has signed for Arsenal in a £34m deal and makes his return to the Premier League after a previous spell at Norwich City. Tzolis struggled to make an impact during his time at Norwich, but has rebuilt his reputation in Brugge.
The left-winger recorded 51 goals and assists across all competitions last season, and is confident he can succeed in North London.
“I can say more or less that I know the level of the Premier League,” he said to the Arsenal website at his unveiling.
“I know it’s the best league in the world. Of course it’s different if you play for Norwich or Arsenal, I think you have the ball more as a player of Arsenal.
“So we attack more the other teams. It’s very physical, the league and the quality is very high, so I’m prepared for that. Also in the Champions League it’s quite high, so I believe every game is like a Champions League game here in Premier League.
“I love to watch football, I know everything about the Premier League, I know everything about Arsenal.
“I watched so many games this year and especially we played against each other, like you said. It was 0-3 in our stadium. I can say it was the most difficult team to attack against that I’ve played so far. We played against other big teams, but against Arsenal, we had the most difficulties to make clear chances. We had some chances, but not very clear.
“They were very efficient also and scored three amazing goals against us, it was a fair result in the end.”
