Arsenal and Brentford have exchanged all paperwork for Christian Norgaard’s summer move to the Emirates, journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed.
The 'phenomenal' Danish midfielder is set to become the Gunners’ new player as expected and arrive as a replacement for Thomas Partey, who departed on a free transfer this week.
Arsenal are close to finalising deals for two midfielders at the moment, with Real Sociedad ace Martin Zubimendi’s arrival also expected in the coming days.
While Norgaard’s move will cost around £15m, Zubimendi will see his £51m release clause activated to make him Declan Rice’s new partner in midfield.

Christian Norgaard in action for Brentford
Romano, writing on X, has revealed that Arsenal are now close to finalising the deal for Norgaard after exchanging all paperwork with Brentford:
Arsenal’s summer business has gathered pace in recent days, as the Gunners announced Kepa Arrizabalaga as their first arrival in a £5m deal from Chelsea.
The North London club also remain in talks to sign Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera after seeing their first bid rejected, while Crystal Palace ace Eberechi Eze has emerged as a target in attack.
Arsenal are expected to continue spending in the remaining two months of the transfer window, as a new number nine and wide forward remain on the agenda.
While they have earmarked RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres as their two long-term targets, not much progress has been made on either pursuit so far.
