Arsenal handed fresh January urgency as dismal Christos Tzolis stats emerge

Tzolis struggled in Greece's 7-0 Nations League loss to the Netherlands, completing just 23 passes and creating no chances, raising questions about Arsenal's attacking depth.

Arsenal winger Christos Tzolis endured a difficult evening as Greece were heavily defeated 7-0 by the Netherlands in a Nations League match on Friday. The 24-year-old, who joined the Gunners from Club Brugge for around £35 million in the summer, completed just 23 passes in 73 minutes on the pitch, with eight efforts going astray.

He failed to create a single chance, managed only one successful dribble, and won just three of his seven duels.

Tzolis is Greece's key attacking player with 10 goals in 38 caps, but was powerless to stop the Netherlands' dominant display. The performance has intensified focus on Arsenal's attacking options ahead of January, with Arteta having failed to secure moves for Vinicius Junior, Julian Alvarez and Morgan Rogers in the summer.

With Tzolis as the only natural left-wing option currently available, Arsenal may need to strengthen in the transfer window to provide support and allow the Greece international time to settle after his move from the Belgian league.
