Arsenal is in the process of completing the agreement with Brentford to sign a contract with midfielder Christian Norgaard.
The negotiations are continuing between Arsenal and the Danish player about the player's contract term, with a planned medical examination. The North London team made a £ 9.3 million offer for a 31 -year -old player, and although the agreement has not been achieved, it is believed that it will succeed.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also turned on the spell “Here We Go” in this deal with the statement: “Christian Norgaard came to Arsenal, we started! The agreement was made between clubs after proposing $ 11 million (£ 9.3 million) sent today. Individual terms have also been agreed with Norgaard and are preparing to have medical testing. Replace Thomas Partey “.
Arsenal has not reached an agreement with Thomas Partey, who has expired contracts on June 30 and now, the Ghana player will leave the Emirates Stadium in the form of free players next week. Partey will be the second central midfielder who left Arsenal this summer after Jorginho joined the Brazilian team, Flamengo on the form of free transfer.
The Athletic reported that Arsenal hoped to sign a contract with Martin Zubimendi of Sociedad, when the Spanish player came to London to meet the club officials last week. Besides Zubimendi, the Gunners still need more personnel to consolidate the middle line after the departure of Partey and Jorginho players.
Norgaard, who still has 2 years in a contract with Brentford, has become a key player of the West London team since moving from Fiorentina in the summer of 2019, reunited with chief coach Thomas Frank – who trained him in Brondby and the Danish youth team.
Norgaard had 192 appearances for Brentford in all competitions, scoring 13 goals. He helped the team promote the Premier League at the end of the second season at the club and increasingly influenced in the past 4 years in this top tournament. However, the fact that Thomas Frank moved to lead Tottenham could be the reason why Norgaard decided to leave Brentford.
Before recruiting Norgaard, Arsenal also completed the transfer of midfielder Zubimendi as well as goalkeeper Kepa.
