Accordingly, the Danish player Christian Norgaard shared about the dream of experiencing the Champions League flavor after many years of waiting.
The star just arrived in Arsenal from Brentford did not hide his happiness when he was about to have the opportunity to play football in the continental arena, which was only for the leading teams in England.

“It was the dream that I had somewhat giving up when I entered the final stage of the player's career. I just turned 31 and signed a new contract with Brentford. Of course, there was always a little hope that the miracle could happen to Brentford, but playing in the Champions League with them is probably not realistic.
Now, I have heard the Champions League melody and have the opportunity to participate in a campaign at this tournament. It was a dream since childhood, what I used to think was impossible. So I am really, really happy here. “
The Danish midfielder has been in 6 years with Brentford, a pillar in the journey to bring the West London team to promote the Premier League in 2021 and maintain the position at the harshest tournament on the planet. Last season, Norgaard came to the field to 34 matches, bringing the total number of “bees” to the number 196, a clear evidence for his influence and stability.
It is known that the Gunners have accepted 10 million pounds, accompanied by £ 5 million to the deal. Coach Arteta wants an experienced player to play in the Premier League to fill the gap for the departure of Jorginho and Partey, instead of betting on the potential of a young player, without experience playing in the Premier League.
Evaluating my style of playing, Christian added: “My style has changed slightly over the years. I started like a player who is more attacked, but now I play in a more defensive midfielder. It is important for me that the team needs a solid defensive structure, and I hope I can contribute to that.
After a season when I made a mark in many goals, I really hope to continue it this season. I don't know what the Arteta coach's plan for me is, but I hope I will be a bit free to join the attacking front at Arsenal. “
Norgaard will wear the number 16 at Arsenal, the number of shirts used to be with personality names like Aaron Ramsey or Rob Holding. This is the third rookie that Arsenal has recruited this summer, after goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and midfielder Martin Zubimendi.
Arsenal continues to show great ambition in the summer transfer window when successfully recruiting Brentford captain Christian Norgaard.
