00:00.180 --> 00:04.840
Well, I, I feel like this is a very,
very promising signing for Arsenal.

00:04.860 --> 00:11.270
Christos Giolis is, one of the best, Greek
players we have seen in a very long time.

00:11.860 --> 00:15.810
Since Euro 2004, Greece was very
well known for defensive players.

00:16.340 --> 00:20.710
No wonder that, all the previous Greeks
Arsenal have had, Stathis Stavrou, Sokratis

00:20.800 --> 00:24.080
Papastathopoulos, Dinos
Mavropanos, all of them defenders.

00:24.440 --> 00:29.120
The best ever Greek to play in the Premier
League, Nikos Dabizas for Newcastle, was a

00:29.180 --> 00:30.440
defender as well.

00:30.460 --> 00:32.240
But now this is a new era for Greece.

00:32.320 --> 00:37.290
We're bringing in We- we A lot of young
talented forwards are coming through, and

00:37.300 --> 00:41.050
we're talking about a player who
killed it last season for Club Brugge.

00:42.160 --> 00:47.000
He ranked, he ranked first for dribbles
completed in the Belgian top flight last

00:47.060 --> 00:52.140
season and created more chances than any other
player, and he's also brilliant in set pieces

00:52.560 --> 00:58.820
as 52 of the 135 chances he created, in
the league last term were from dead ball

00:58.880 --> 01:03.500
situations, which of course is huge for
Arsenal because we all know how good they are

01:03.520 --> 01:06.480
in set pieces.
Nicolas Jover should really love that.

01:06.500 --> 01:12.440
And we know how much Arsenal struggled in
breaking down an opposition that sat deep.

01:12.660 --> 01:14.800
Giolis is very good, when
it comes to dribbling.

01:14.840 --> 01:16.420
He's very good in cutting into the area.

01:17.200 --> 01:20.410
It's funny that he's taking the number 17
shirt, which i- if I remember correctly,

01:20.600 --> 01:25.040
belonged to Alexis Sanchez because Giolis
has pretty much the same frame and the same

01:25.060 --> 01:27.420
goal-scoring ability as Alexis Sanchez.

01:27.460 --> 01:31.380
He talked about in his interview
how he emulates David Villa because,

01:31.580 --> 01:32.660
well, he is a winger.

01:32.720 --> 01:38.260
Villa was one was more well known as a number
nine, but they both like, they both like being,

01:38.520 --> 01:42.660
be- being of a s- of a second striker more
than a specific kind of role within the,

01:43.480 --> 01:45.240
within the, w- within the team.

01:45.380 --> 01:50.020
So this is a very promising signing, and I do
believe he has quite a few similar attributes,

01:50.420 --> 01:52.680
as Leandro Trossard, as mentioned beforehand
