The prospect of playing in the Champions League was an important factor in Norgaard to spend London in Arsenal.

He said, “You can become almost emotional because it was perhaps a dream that I gave a little end to come to the later stage of my career.

“I just was 31 years old and I had signed a new agreement with Brentford. Of course, there is always a little chance that a miracle could occur with Brentford, but it was probably unrealistic to play with them with the Champions League.

“Now, I hear the anthem and I am part of a Champions League campaign. It is a childhood dream and something I didn’t think I was possible. So it’s something that I am really, really happy.”

Brentford Norgaard captain follows the arrivals of Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga And the Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi.

The Gunners also made a Chelsea winger Noni Madueke A higher target, while they move in motion for the CP Sports attacker Viktor Gyokerres.

Arsenal is also interested in Real Madrid winger Rodgrygo and Crystal Palace midfielder Ebechi Eze In what turns out to be a pivotal summer for Mikel Arteta.

Why Norgaard? What is the following for rice? The reconstruction of the Arsenal midfielder explained

Analysis of Sky Sports’ Nick Wright:

Norgaard is an atypical arsenal signature in terms of age. At 31, it offers little resale value. However, it helps to alleviate the loss of Jorginho’s experience. He goes to the Emirates stadium after having accumulated 122 appearances in the Premier League for Brentford.

Its age means that it also comes for relatively low costs, reducing the financial risk of the agreement and allowing Arsenal to retain funds for attackers still necessary.

Some supporters would have liked that Arsenal operates for a younger and more exciting option with a higher ceiling. The club would have considered Sevilla midfielder, 23, Lucien Agoume as an alternative.

But Albert Sambi Lokonga, Agoume’s teammate, when he was ready in Seville last season, offers an off -cutting tale that did not succeed in reaching the note in Arsenal. The club is now unlikely to recover the 15 million sterling pounds spent to sign it from Anderlecht in 2021.

With Fabio Vieira, a signing of 34 million pounds sterling from Porto returned to his former club on loan last season, and Nuno Tavares, a signature of 8 million pounds Sterling by Benfica who also had trouble, Lokonga helps to explain why Arsenal now promotes ready to the Premier League such as Norgaard.

Norgaard follows Frank from the door of bees

Norgaard’s move to Arsenal ended his six -year fate in Brentford.

He joined the West London Club of Fiorentina in May 2019 and became a key player for bees in his Premier League promotion.

Norgaard was extremely influential under Thomas FrankWho left in June to become head coach of Tottenham after seven impressive years in Brentford.

Brentford could see the star player Bryan Mbeumo Follow their manager and captain out of the door.

Manchester United remains optimistic to conclude an agreement to sign Mbeumo in time for the striker to be part of his pre-season tour of the United States.

There remains a gap in the evaluation, but United is not far from the overall costs that Brentford wishes – which could cost 65 million pounds sterling – but there is still work to do on the structure because the club of the western London wants that the majority, if not all, of the costs is paid in advance.

A summer of change at the Gtech community stadium saw Keith Andrews named the club’s new head coach.

Brentford spoke to a certain number of high-level managers from all over Europe, but has opted for someone who knows the club and their systems, and they believe that Andws can become a better coach, having joined Frank’s assistant last year.
