Tzolis breaks Greek record as PAOK head to Lublin

Tzolis becomes Greece's most expensive export

Christos Tzolis is an Arsenal player, and PAOK want everyone to know it. The club posted a message for their academy product after his record move was confirmed: "Always proud of our boys! Keep flying high, Christos Tzolis!" (1) (2). The transfer makes him the most expensive Greek footballer ever.

Dynamo Kiev on Thursday in Lublin

Your season starts now. PAOK face Dynamo Kiev in the Europa League second qualifying round in Lublin, Poland (3). The fixture is the first competitive match of the campaign.

Season ticket sales down sharply

PAOK have sold around 6,500 season tickets so far, according to Kostas Raptopoulοs. Last year the club moved 18,000 (4). That is a steep drop and a concern for the club's finances going into the new season.

Fan-reaktioner

PAOK supporters are soaking up the Tzolis moment. On Reddit, one fan shared the club's Instagram post straight to r/Gunners, making sure Arsenal fans saw where their new record signing came from. Others are already deep in player comparisons, asking who Tzolis resembles among well-known footballers. Read the discussion.
