Arsenal will welcome their third new recruit by the end of the week

Credible sources have revealed that Arsenal will welcome Christian Nørgaard to the club before the end of the week. The Gunners had finalised a deal for the Danish international pending a medical and official announcement in June. Arsenal moved quickly to secure his signature once it became apparent that Thomas Partey would leave the club upon the expiration of his contract. Martin Zubimendi will be the club’s undisputed first choice in defensive midfield, but the arrival of Christian Nørgaard is just as important given the lack of depth in that area of the pitch. Multiple sources revealed a deal had been completed, but an announcement has yet to follow.

Nørgaard medical complete, unveiling imminent

According to David Ornstein, the Dane has already undergone a medical, with an announcement expected by the end of the week. The 31-year-old will join the club for a £10 million guaranteed fee up front, plus a further £2 million in add-ons. His arrival will follow the unveiling of Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendi in the month of July, as the Gunners continue to gather momentum. Additional signings are expected before Arsenal’s pre-season tour of Asia, which will come as a huge boost to the club’s preparations for the new campaign.

Nørgaard brings experience and tactical depth

Christian Nørgaard will hopefully add a wealth of experience and quality to the Arsenal midfield. Looking at his profile, he is more of a traditional defensive midfielder, capable of progressing play and providing defensive cover. His ability to anticipate and read the game will be a huge asset to the Gunners. His Premier League experience also means he is capable of starting the campaign in the first team, giving Zubimendi time to adapt to a new league and a new country. Furthermore, his threat from set pieces will give the club another dimension from dead balls, providing another target in the box.

All things considered, the £12 million addition of Christian Nørgaard will be a solid addition to the Arsenal squad.
