What happened. Arsenal's new winger Christos Tzolis has impressed in his first two games, potentially saving the club money to fund a move for Julian Alvarez.

• Tzolis contributed two assists in the Community Shield win over Manchester City.
• He had a hand in two goals on his home debut against Coventry City.
• Arteta praised Tzolis, saying his performances have been 'phenomenal'.

“The way he has played in the last few games has been phenomenal.”

— Mikel Arteta

Arsenal may use the savings from Tzolis's impact to sign Alvarez before the transfer window closes.
