The rise of Christos Tzolis

Tzolis joined Norwich City from PAOK in August 21 for €11m, but struggled with just three goals and two assists in 30 games across all competitions under Daniel Farke, Dean Smith and David Wagner.

With subsequent loans to FC Twente, where he again failed to impress, and Fortuna Düsseldorf, it was in Germany that the 22-year-old found his feet which has seen his market value rise to €10m, per Transfermarkt, his highest value since May 2021 (€12m), when he was at PAOK.
