Arsenal will announce the signing of Brentford captain and Danish midfielder Christian Norgaard by the end of the week.
The Gunners have reportedly completed the signing Norgaard, who would be their third summer signing following the acquisition of Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendi From Chelsea and Real Sociedad respectively.
The North London club are beginning to intensify their transfer activity this summer after bringing in competition for first-choice goalkeeper David Raya, while Zubimendi has joined to reinforce the midfield following the departures of Jorginho and Thomas Partey.
Norgaard will further strengthen Arteta’s options in the centre of the pitch after he signs for a relatively modest deal of £10m guaranteed plus £2m in add-ons.
According to The Athletic (via Daily Express) he has already completed a medical with the Gunners and is expected to be revealed by the club at the end of the week.
