Fulham’s Joachim Andersen was pleased to see Christian Nørgaard decide to join Arsenal last summer.
Viaplay had a chat with the Fulham player, who talked about the 31-year-old Denmark international. Bold have relayed his comments.
Andersen and the Arsenal man have played together for the national team and Bold say they are good friends.
Nørgaard spent six years at Brentford before leaving them for Mikel Arteta’s side in July. His former club teammate, Mikkel Damsgaard, was then shocked at the midfielder’s decision to move to the Emirates.
Damsgaard isn’t the only one as Bold now claim the Fulham man has also been ‘surprised’ with his compatriot moving to Arsenal. The 29-year-old defender is delighted to see Nørgaard take the step forward at this stage of his career.
“It’s crazy that he gets to be part of such experiences and try it out. You can’t say no to that. It’s great for him. I’m just happy for him,” he said.
Nørgaard was a regular for the Bees but that isn’t the case with the Gunners. Arteta has handed him 482 minutes from nine matches of which 270 were in the EFL Cup.
The Dane has a contract until 2027, with an option for another year. Two months ago, he had expressed his desire to return to Brøndby after his time at Arsenal.
