Arsenal are on the verge of completing a deal for Brentford’s Christian Norgaard, with the North London club agreeing a transfer fee of £10 million plus an additional £5 million in performance-related bonuses.
The Danish midfielder is being lined up as a potential replacement for Thomas Partey, whose future at the Emirates remains uncertain as his contract winds down with just a week left.
Mikel Arteta is believed to be a strong admirer of Norgaard, particularly valuing his proven track record in the Premier League. Talks between the two clubs intensified over the past day, leading to a breakthrough in negotiations.
Norgaard is expected to undergo a medical soon, with personal terms not expected to be an obstacle. The move forms part of Arsenal’s wider summer rebuild, as the Gunners also inch closer to landing Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi.
