Arsenal Football Club has completed the signing of Danish midfielder Christian Norgaard from Brentford FC ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League season. The 31-year-old Denmark international, who was Brentford's captain and contracted until June 2027, agreed to personal terms with Arsenal and has undergone medical examinations. The transfer fee is reported to be an initial £10 million with up to £2 million in add-ons, although some sources mention figures up to £15 million or approximately €11 million.
