Christos Tzolis starts strong at Arsenal with assists against Manchester City

Christos Tzolis, the 24-year-old former Club Brugge player, made an impressive debut for Arsenal. In the Community Shield match against Manchester City, he provided two assists, contributing to the convincing 3-0 victory for the Gunners.

Thierry Henry, Arsenal legend and analyst, has publicly adjusted his initial skepticism about Tzolis. According to Henry, Tzolis is now a 'gem' and refers to him as an 'absolute gold nugget.' These remarks come following a performance in which Tzolis showcased his talents on the field.

Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has also expressed positive sentiments about Tzolis and his impact on the team. Arteta appreciates the newcomer’s performance and sees a lot of potential in his contribution to the squad.

Tzolis's transfer from Club Brugge to Arsenal at the end of July was considered a dream move, and with his strong start, he seems to be exceeding expectations. The reactions from both Henry and Arteta highlight the high expectations now placed upon him.
