Brentford Captain Christian Nørgaard Poised for Arsenal Move Amid Transfer Talks

Arsenal have reached a full agreement on personal terms with Brentford captain Christian Nørgaard, who is eager to make the switch to North London.

The 31-year-old Danish international has informed Brentford of his desire to leave, and the club has acknowledged his decision.

Nørgaard has been a key figure for Brentford since joining in 2019, amassing 192 appearances and scoring 13 goals across all competitions. In the 2024/25 Premier League season alone, he featured in 34 matches, netting 5 goals and providing 4 assists, underlining his consistent influence from midfield.

Negotiations between Arsenal and Brentford are ongoing, with the Gunners’ latest offer reportedly around €11 million. While Brentford are holding out for a slightly higher fee, both clubs remain optimistic that a deal will be finalized soon. Nørgaard is viewed as a potential replacement for Thomas Partey and would bring valuable Premier League experience and leadership to Mikel Arteta’s squad.
