Arsenal's new signing Christos Tzolis says he isn't losing sleep over reports linking the Gunners with Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr, despite the Brazilian occupying a similar wide position, according to Sky Sports.
The Greek winger, who has settled quickly into life at the Emirates, insists his focus is purely on impressing at his new club rather than worrying about who else might arrive. Speculation over a possible move for Vinicius Jr has been swirling, but Tzolis appears relaxed about the competition it could bring.
In the same interview, Tzolis touched on his impressive fitness levels, revealing he topped Arsenal's pre-season fitness tests since joining. He also spoke about being compared stylistically to former Spain and Barcelona striker David Villa, and opened up on his "Leonidas" nickname — a nod to the legendary Spartan king, reflecting his combative style on the pitch.
While Arsenal's interest in Vinicius Jr remains speculative for now, Tzolis's comments suggest he's determined to make his own mark in north London regardless of any incoming reinforcements, as reported by Sky Sports.
