Arsenal to move for Tzolis after Trossard exit

[Getty Images] Arsenal are set to accelerate their pursuit of Club Brugge attacker Christos Tzolis following the departure of Leandro Trossard . BBC Sport reported the Gunners' interest in the Greece international in June and his Belgian club are anticipating an offer. Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is working on the deal after his assistant Maurizio Micheli watched the 24-year-old play for Greece against Sweden last month. Tzolis could be available for about £30m. Any move for him would be separate to Arsenal's interest in signing more high-profile forwards this summer. They retain a long-term interest in Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez, who is the priority target, but it remains to be seen if a deal for the Argentina international is possible this summer, with Barcelona and Real Madrid also interested. Morgan Rogers is Arsenal's preferred option in their search for a versatile attacker, with efforts to sign the Aston Villa man set to ramp up once his participation at the World Cup with England is over. Paris St-Germain winger Bradley Barcola is viewed as the alternative in the event of failing to reach an agreement with Villa, who reportedly value Rogers at £130m. Meanwhile, Arsenal recruitment specialist Micheli watched Georgia Under-21 international Andria Bartishvili play for Iberia 1999 against Flora in their Champions League qualifier last week, with sources indicating the Gunners are stepping up their attempt to sign the 17-year-old.
