I know he comes from the Belgian league but he is already a good player," Alderweireld told Hajper."He’s very direct and strong with big legs and he can handle the physical duels of the Premier League. He can go left or right, he’s good at shooting and has already proven himself in the Champions League on the very biggest stage. I think they have already bought a very good player there to play down the left.“Leonardo Trossard has been a good player for Arsenal because he was very creative and dangerous around the box but Christos Tzolis is strong and quick, and will be more dynamic in the Premier League. I think this role will suit Tzolis a lot better than it did Trossard.“Arsenal have a lot of the ball. They play in the opponent’s half. Trossard playing between the lines, left and right, was very decisive at times for Arsenal but Tzolis will give them another dimension this season if they use him right.”London Standard'Magical' Arsenal shirt number available for Bruno GuimaraesBruno Guimaraes will not have to select a different shirt number at Arsenal, with his transfer nearing completion.While the Gunners’ bid was rejected by the Magpies, the Athletic have since reported that the two clubs are nearing a total agreement, with there being a desire among all parties to bring situation to a close.With the deal now on course for completion and Guimaraes awaiting permission from Newcastle to undergo a medical and seal a move to the Premier League champions, it will not come as a surprise as to which shirt number the Brazilian is likely to request.GettyImages
