Arsenal have initiated discussions with Olympiacos concerning potential summer signings of promising youngsters.

Arsenal has reportedly lodged formal enquiries to sign two highly-rated Greek wonderkids, Charalampos Kostoulas and Christos Mouzakitis, from Olympiacos. The Gunners have made initial contact with the Greek club ahead of potential summer moves for the talented duo according to Birmingham World.

Kostoulas, a 17-year-old centre-forward, has already shown his potential with match-winning performances, including a brace in a recent victory over Aris. Mouzakitis, an 18-year-old central midfielder, has already earned full international recognition with Greece and is known for his exceptional vision and ability to control the tempo of matches.

Both players have been regular starters for Olympiacos this season, contributing to the club’s impressive form in the Greek Super League. Arsenal’s interest in Kostoulas and Mouzakitis is part of their strategy to continue developing young talent, following the success of players like Bukayo Saka and Reiss Nelson.

Other Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Brentford, are also monitoring the pair, but Arsenal is keen to secure their signatures. The Gunners believe that Kostoulas and Mouzakitis have the potential to thrive in North London and become key players in the future.
