Christian Norgaard: Arsenal sign Brentford midfielder in £15m deal

Arsenal have signed Denmark midfielder Christian Norgaard from Brentford in a £15m deal.

The 31-year-old has joined for an initial £10m – with a possible £5m in performance-related add-ons – on a two-year contract with the option of a third year.

Norgaard joined Brentford from Fiorentina in 2019 and became a key player, captaining his side and making 196 appearances.

The Gunners were interested in Sevilla’s French midfielder Lucien Agoume, but manager Mikel Arteta opted for Norgaard because he preferred a Premier League-ready player.
