Brentford director of football Phil Giles has confirmed Christian Norgaard is likely to complete a transfer move to ARSENAL after the Gunners made their move to get the star signed up this transfer window,
Norgaard joined Brentford when the club were still in the Championship back in 2019 and the midfielder has gone on to make 196 appearances in all competitions for the Bees.
Arsenal have been forced to turn to the transfer market to fill the void left by Jorginho’s departure on a free transfer to join Flamengo. Thomas Partey has also left the club after he failed to agree a new contract which would keep him at the Emirates.
Personal terms are not expected to be a problem for the Denmark international, formerly of Brondby, Fiorentina and Hamburg, and now Giles has opened up on the imminent departure of the midfielder.
‘*ARSENAL* approached us in the last two weeks about Christian – we’ve spoken regularly with Andrea Berta,’ Brentford chief Giles told Sky Sports when asked for an update on Norgaard’s situation.
‘As it stands, I think it’s more likely to happen than not.
‘But we have to go through the full process, tick all the boxes, and we’ll see at the end of it.’
Giles holds no resentment towards Norgaard, insisting the Dane has ‘earned the opportunity’ to join a club competing for major silverware
‘He’s been a fantastic player for us, unbelievable,’ he added.
‘I’m actually happy for him that he has earned the opportunity, at this stage of his career, age 31, to go and have the opportunity to win some trophies.
‘It isn’t done yet but we are aware that.’
