Danish international signs two-year contract
Gunners have held talks with Palace’s Eze
Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Christian Nørgaard from Brentford and are expected to step up their attempts to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace.
The Denmark international is understood to have signed a two-year contract at the Emirates with the option of extending it by another year after Arsenal agreed to pay a fee of around £9m up front. With add ons that could rise to £12m. Nørgaard, who had been at Brentford since 2019 and played more than 120 games in the Premier League, had two years left on the contract extension he signed in March.
The 31-year-old has been identified as a player who could add experience to Mikel Arteta’s squad after the departures of Jorginho and Thomas Partey. The signing of Spain midfielder Martín Zubimendi was also confirmed this week.
