Norwich City winger Christos Tzolis is to join Fortuna Dusseldorf on a permanent basis after the German club took up a buy option following a loan spell.

The Greece international cost Norwich £8.8m when he joined them from PAOK Salonika in 2021.

He made 13 appearances in the second half of the 2022-23 season, scoring once in a 3-1 over Birmingham City, following a loan spell in Dutch football with FC Twente.

But Tzolis was allowed to join Fortuna last summer and has been a big hit, scoring 24 goals in 37 games, 30 of them in Bundesliga 2.

He was contracted to Norwich until the summer of 2026 but no details have been disclosed about any transfer fee.

The deal will be formally completed on 1 July.
