Arsenal Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Danish international midfielder Christian Norgaard from Brentford in a deal worth up to £15 million. The 31-year-old joins the Gunners on a two-year contract, with an option for a third year.
Norgaard becomes Arsenal’s third summer signing, following the arrivals of Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga, as manager Mikel Arteta continues to reinforce the squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Manager Mikel Arteta commented: “We’re thrilled to welcome Christian to Arsenal. He brings a wealth of Premier League experience, proven leadership, and tactical intelligence. His versatility and physical presence will add depth and balance to our midfield.”
Norgaard expressed his excitement at joining Arsenal, calling it a “childhood dream” to play Champions League football. “I got almost emotional,” he said. “Now I get to hear the anthem and be part of a Champions League campaign. It’s something I didn’t think would be possible.”
Norgaard will wear the number 16 shirt and immediately join his new teammates for pre-season training.
Arsenal continues to build a squad capable of competing on all fronts, with further signings expected in the coming weeks.
