Christian Norgaard signed a two-year contract with Arsenal, with an option for an additional year, after transferring from Brentford for £10m plus add-ons. He made 196 appearances for Brentford, contributing to their promotion to the Premier League in 2021. Norgaard expressed emotional fulfillment in achieving his childhood dream of playing in the Champions League. He was recognized for his strong performance in league play and is expected to enhance Arsenal's squad with his experience, leadership, and tactical skills.
You can get almost emotional because maybe it was a dream that I've given a little bit up on coming towards the later stage in my career. I've just turned 31 and had signed a new deal with Brentford. Of course, there's always a little chance that a miracle could happen with Brentford, but it was probably unrealistic to play Champions League with them.
Now, I get to hear the anthem and be a part of a Champions League campaign. It's a childhood dream and something I didn't think would be possible. So, it's something I'm really, really happy about.
He is an international player with a wealth of experience of the Premier League. He has proven leadership skills and a strong character, which will be invaluable to our squad. He is a strong midfielder with excellent tactical awareness and versatility.
Christian will bring a lot to the group both on and off the pitch, and we are excited to start working with him in this next chapter.
