Manager Mikel Arteta is looking for an experienced midfielder who can help glue the team together. Christian Norgaard, who is a Denmark international, has a lot of experience playing in the football league. He is contracted to Brentford until June 2027 and has expressed his interest in joining Arsenal.

Reports of the deal have been circulating in the past week, but it was confirmed by a journalist on Wednesday morning that the deal is ongoing. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also confirmed that Arsenal have submitted a proposal worth €11 million for Christian Norgaard.

However, Brentford is reportedly wanting more for their captain, and talks between the two teams are continuing. Despite the uncertainty, Christian Norgaard has expressed his desire to join Arsenal, and the club is expected to announce the signing of Marin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad in the coming week.

Earlier this month, Brentford's former head coach Frank moved to Tottenham Hotspur, leading some to believe that Christian Norgaard would follow him. However, it seems that the Denmark international is set to join Arsenal instead.
