Christos Tzolis reveals Arsenal star that played crucial role in helping him settle in London
Summer signing has quickly settled at Emirates Stadium
Christos Tzolis has hailed the role played by Cristhian Mosquera to help him acclimatise to life at Arsenal.
The Greek international signed for the Gunners back in the summer to replace Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli on the left flank.
He has hit the ground running since his £34million move from Club Brugge,as he returned to the English top flight for the first time since 2024, when he ended a fruitless three-year spell at Norwich City.
Now, after some impressive performances across all competitions, the winger has revealed the Arsenal star that has helped to settle him in London.
“There are a lot of guys that really try to speak, to help me from the beginning,” he said.
“I think [Cristhian] Mosquera was the first one. We started to talk, it was in the pre-season. He's close to my age as well, so I can say Mosquera.”
Tzolis has been sidelined for the past few weeks with a hamstring injury that has kept him out of six games.
He has not scored for his new side yet, but now that he is back to full fitness, he is keen to continue impressing his manager Mikel Arteta.
“I'm feeling good,” he said of his fitness.
“Before, I was one month away from the team; I was injured, but now I'm feeling good again. I had a good rehab, and I feel fit and strong again to help my team.
“I always try to give everything to win, and the coach is the one who makes the decisions. I was happy that I had the chance to play and I will always perform.”
