Arsenal Football Club is close to finalizing a deal to sign Christian Nørgaard, the 31-year-old Danish midfielder and captain of Brentford FC. The Gunners have submitted a proposal valued at around €11 million (approximately £9.3 million), which has been increased to a package reportedly worth £10 million plus £5 million in add-ons, totaling around £15 million. Nørgaard, who is contracted with Brentford until June 2027, has expressed a strong desire to join Arsenal amid potential departures of midfielders Thomas Partey and Jorginho. Personal terms between Arsenal and Nørgaard have been agreed upon, and the player has been authorized to undergo a medical examination at Arsenal.

Brentford has also authorized the player to travel for the medical. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has played a key role in securing the transfer, which is expected to be completed soon, allowing the club to focus on further signings. This move follows Arsenal's recent acquisitions of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and midfielder Martin Zubimendi. Brentford is reportedly preparing for Nørgaard's exit and is close to signing a new midfielder for around £17 million.
