Christos Tzolis was one of Arsenal’s standout performers against Coventry, and his display had fans drawing comparisons with former Gunners star Alexis Sanchez.
The 24-year-old, who joined Arsenal from Club Brugge for £34 million in July, impressed again after making his competitive debut in the Community Shield. He created two goals in that match and continued his strong start against Coventry.
Tzolis provided the assist for Bukayo Saka’s second goal after a brilliant piece of wing play, showcasing his pace, directness and confidence in one-on-one situations.
His performance quickly caught the attention of Arsenal supporters, with many fans saying his movement, explosiveness and aggressive style reminded them of Sanchez.
One fan described him as an “Alexis Sánchez regen”, while others said he was giving off strong Sanchez vibes. Another supporter even compared him to a combination of Sanchez and Marc Overmars.
Mikel Arteta has also praised Tzolis’ intelligence and decision-making, highlighting how quickly he has adapted to Arsenal and his ability to make the right choices under pressure.
After such an impressive start, Arsenal fans will be hoping Tzolis can maintain this form throughout the season.
