Arsenal is nearing a deal to sign Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard, expected to complete a medical this week. The 31-year-old Danish international will join as a defensive midfielder for a fee starting at 10m, potentially increasing to 12m. This signing comes following the expiration of Thomas Partey's contract. Journalist Charles Watts describes Norgaard's signing as smart, filling the role left by Jorginho. Norgaard's Premier League experience may enable a quick adaptation to Arsenal's squad, which is also undergoing midfield changes, including Martin Zubimendi’s arrival.
Christian Norgaard represents a smart signing for Arsenal, as he comes in to replace Jorginho, an experienced player who only started nine league games last season.
Norgaard’s experience in the Premier League will help him transition quickly, filling the gap left by Jorginho and offering necessary depth to Mikel Arteta’s squad.
The transfer of Norgaard is part of a larger shift in midfield for Arsenal, with Martin Zubimendi replacing Thomas Partey, indicating a strategic approach to rebuilding.
While adding a new defensive midfielder is smart, Arsenal is still expected to focus on addressing attacking options, which have been a concern in previous seasons.
