Arsenal agrees to personal terms with Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal took an important step in the summer midfield transformation, that Christian Nørgaard has reached personal terms with the club.
Captain Brentford, who has become one of the most underrated performers in the Premier League in recent seasons, is now urging a move to the UAE Stadium.
Nørgaard is keen on transfers and has communicated his intention to leave Brentford this summer.
It is understood that Arsenal has been negotiating with the player’s representatives for weeks and has reached a comprehensive agreement on personal terms, with the focus completely shifting to the club where the club finalizes the fees.
Arsenal strengthens its efforts to sign Nogard
Brentford has been informed of the players’ decision and opens up negotiations for deals, although they have slightly higher than the fees on opening offer from Arsenal.
It is believed that the Gunners’ initial bid was close to €10 million, and while this is not entirely accepted, the two sides remain optimistic about an upcoming compromise.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has placed midfield reinforcements as a priority in this window, especially after news that Thomas Partey left the club.
Nørgaard’s Premier League experience makes him a valuable short-term addition as Arsenal continues to build a team that can challenge the Premier League title.
The Gunners need more depth in the midfield
Bringing Nørgaard to North London will add much-needed depth and leadership to Arsenal’s midfield core.
As players push the move, Brentford has prepared for his potential departure, so it seems increasingly possible to transfer.
If the two clubs finalize the terms in the next few days, Arsenal may have a second major midfielder signing after agreeing to a deal from Real Sociedad Martin Zubimendi.
