With the first round of Premier League fixtures now at an end, various publications have released their Team of the Week picks for Matchday 1 of the new season.
In the BBC’s team, Troy Deeney has selected Arsenal summer signing Christos Tzolis for his performance against Coventry City, writing that the winger is a great bit of business, and praising the player for his “calming influence and tenacity”.
Deeney believes Tzolis is like a mix of Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli in one player, with “a lot more output than those guys”, and that the Greek international will be “a beast” this year.
