Everton will push to try and sign Brentford star Christian Norgaard in the summer transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition ofFootball Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the midfielder would be a “very smart signing” for the Merseyside giants.
The 30-year-old will be a free agent in the summer if he chooses to run down his contract at Brentford, with his deal set to expire at the end of June.

The Denmark international is seen as one of the most underrated players in the Premier League and someone who has been a standout for the Bees since they arrived in the English top flight.
Norgaard would “tick a lot of boxes” for David Moyes, with the club looking to strengthen the midfield department ahead of next season.
Thomas Frank would have a hard time replacing him in his team though, which is why Brentford could push to extend his stay at the club as they have an option for a further year.
