Arsenal’s Proposal for Christian Norgaard
Arsenal Football Club has officially submitted a proposal valued at €11 million (approximately £9.3 million) for Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard. The Gunners are keen on securing the services of the 31-year-old Danish international while they wait for Brentford’s decision regarding the offer.
Thomas Partey’s Uncertain Future
Meanwhile, uncertainty looms over the future of Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey, whose contract is set to expire on June 30. With no agreement in place for an extension, Partey is poised to exit the club as a free agent next week. This potential departure would mark him as the second central midfielder to leave Arsenal this summer, following Jorginho’s move to Flamengo on a free transfer.
Talks for Martin Zubimendi
In a bid to reinforce their midfield, Arsenal is reportedly in talks to acquire Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, with the Spanish player having met with club officials in London last week.
Christian Norgaard’s Impact at Brentford
Norgaard, who continues to be an integral part of Brentford’s squad since his arrival from Fiorentina in 2019, is under contract with the Bees for two more years. He has made an impressive 192 appearances for the club across all competitions, netting 13 goals. His contributions have been pivotal in Brentford’s journey, including their promotion to the Premier League at the end of his second season.
His influence on the team has expanded significantly during his time in the top flight, particularly noted after reuniting with Thomas Frank, his former coach from their days at Brøndby and the Danish youth setup. However, earlier this month, Frank accepted a new position as the head coach for Tottenham Hotspur, marking a significant shift in the managerial landscape for both clubs.
