Arsenal Eye Brentford’s Christian Norgaard Amid Partey Exit Talks
Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Brentford captain Christian Norgaard as they prepare for Thomas Partey’s likely departure this summer, according to reports from The Mirror via Sportal.
Norgaard, 31, has been a consistent performer in the Premier League since joining Brentford in 2019. The Danish international is seen as a low-cost, high-reliability option, with his current market value estimated at £9.5 million.
Gunners Seek Midfield Depth
Despite the imminent arrival of Martin Zubimendi and the presence of Declan Rice, Mikel Arteta reportedly wants another midfield option to bolster squad depth and maintain competition. With Jorginho returning to Brazil and Partey’s contract nearing its end, Norgaard presents a viable solution.
The move, however, may raise eyebrows as Arsenal already possess depth in central midfield. Still, Norgaard’s experience, leadership, and tactical intelligence make him an attractive proposition for Arteta’s evolving system.
Brentford Reluctant to Sell
Brentford are reportedly reluctant to let go of another key player, especially following manager Thomas Frank’s recent move to Tottenham. Losing their captain would further disrupt the squad, and any transfer would likely depend on Arsenal’s urgency and the player’s willingness to move.
If a deal materializes, the Arsenal Christian Norgaard transfer could be one of the more unexpected yet shrewd pieces of business this summer.
