Even without the King Bear, there is him: Arsenal's 24-year-old new signing provided two assists in a single match, contributing to 5 goals in 5 games since joining—a bargain at 40 million euros.

The 2026-27 Community Shield final, held on the night of August 16th Beijing time, saw Arsenal beat Manchester City 3-0, securing their 18th title in the competition. The performance of Arsenal's new 24-year-old winger Tsolis was outstanding, as he set up two goals, playing a crucial role in the win.

During this summer transfer window, Arsenal spent 40 million euros to sign Tsolis from Club Brugge, replacing the departed Trossard. While many were concerned about a potential weakening of Arsenal's left flank, Tsolis has dispelled those doubts with his outstanding performances.

During the preseason, he scored in a 4-1 win over Girona, then provided assists in consecutive matches against Real Betis and Borussia Dortmund. Although he didn't register a goal or assist against Como, he converted the decisive penalty in the shootout.

In this official Community Shield match, Tsolis first headed the ball to assist Havertz for a goal in the first half, and then delivered a clever cross in the second half to help Odegaard seal the victory.

Tsolis became the first Arsenal player since Willian in September 2020 to provide two or more assists in his official debut.

Since joining Arsenal, Tsolis has played in 5 matches, directly contributing to 5 goals with 1 goal and 4 assists. Considering his transfer fee of only 40 million euros, compared to the often astronomical fees for attackers in today's football world, this signing is indeed a great value for Arsenal.

Earlier, Arsenal had shown interest in signing Vinicius to bolster the left wing, but the Brazilian star ultimately chose to renew his contract with Real Madrid. However, with Tsolis now in the squad, Arsenal's left flank remains formidable for the new season.

Of course, the real test for Tsolis will come in the upcoming Premier League and Champions League matches. It is believed that Arsenal's strong overall strength and mature tactical system will greatly help him integrate into the team.
