Arsenal midfielder Christian Nørgaard is reportedly set to undergo a medical today ahead of his proposed move to Everton.
The 32-year-old joined the Gunners from Brentford last summer in a deal worth around £10m.
During his first season at the Emirates, he struggled for regular game time, making just seven appearances in all competitions.
After only one year in north London, the Denmark international now looks set to leave the club.

Nørgaard has not been included in Arsenal’s squad travelling to Dublin for Wednesday night’s pre-season friendly against Real Betis.
With Nørgaard now on the verge of leaving, Arsenal are expected to step up their pursuit of Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimarães in the coming days.
Arsenal are set to step up their plans as the summer transfer window now officially open, with the club continuing to hold internal discussions over potential targets. Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta are both believed to be actively assessing several options as preparations for next season continue behind the scenes.
The Gunners are expected to be among the busiest Premier League clubs this summer, with several positions under review. Any move will ultimately depend on availability, financial conditions and how Arsenal prioritise their targets during the transfer window.
Arsenal’s recruitment team continues to focus on players who fit the club’s long-term strategy under Mikel Arteta. Technical quality, tactical intelligence and versatility remain key attributes as the club assesses potential additions ahead of the new campaign.
The club has consistently looked to add players capable of improving both the starting XI and overall squad depth, particularly with the demands of competing in the Premier League and Champions League. Arsenal are expected to strengthen multiple areas of the squad this summer and continue to monitor opportunities across Europe and South America.
Arsenal are expected to make several important decisions regarding the composition of the squad this summer. While strengthening key areas remains a priority, the club could also consider offers for certain players if it helps fund new arrivals and maintain financial flexibility.
Securing the futures of key players remains just as important as making new signings. Arsenal have worked hard to build one of the strongest squads in Europe, and maintaining stability within the group will be crucial as the club looks to continue competing for major honours.
