Despite arriving at Arsenal with an exceptional record of 20 goals and 29 assists for Club Brugge last season, fans can be forgiven if this was their first real glimpse of Christos Tzolis since his Norwich City days.
Reflecting on that time, when he was given just six league starts across two seasons, Tzolis says:
“It was my second professional year in football, and the team was not really ready for the Premier League. That makes it difficult to adapt and to play how I could play because I’m a more offensive player who played for a team that has the ball and creates a lot of chances.
“In football progress is not always going up where, directly, you can play at the highest level. The game time was not enough as a young player to develop, and that was the bad thing about the Norwich situation.
“That’s why I went to Dusseldorf, to get my confidence back because I knew I had the skills and qualities to score the goals. Even though it was not the highest level, it was good to play every game and have the feeling that you can score, create and play well.”
