Arsenal set to announce £12m transfer for Brentford and Denmark midfielder Christian Norgaard this week with medical already completed

Arsenal will soon announce they have completed a deal for Brentford midfielder Norgaard, according to The Athletic. The Gunners have been in talks with the Bees over the last few weeks and a transfer worth around £10 million (€11.5 million/$13.5 million) plus a further £2 million in potential add-ons has been agreed. Norgaard has already completed his medical and official confirmation is expected to come later this week.

Norgaard's arrival comes soon after the north London giants completed a deal for Real Sociedad and Spain star Martin Zubimendi. Back-up goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has also joined Mikel Arteta's squad, while talks are ongoing for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres.

Norgaard signed for Brentford in 2019 and played a key role under former manager Thomas Frank as they climbed into the Premier League and established themselves as tricky top-flight opposition. The 31-year-old played in 34 league matches during the 2025-26 campaign, contributing five goals and four assists.

Norgaard's move will soon be made official and he will link up with his new team-mates for pre-season imminently. The Gunners are looking to go one better in the 2025-26 season after finishing second behind Liverpool in the Premier League title race last term.
