Arsenal 'complete £12m signing of Brentford captain Christian Norgaard' - as Mikel Arteta secures third summer deal to bolster squad for title challenge

Arsenal have reportedly completed the £12million signing of Brentford captain Christian Norgaard.

According to The Athletic, Arsenal will pay an initial £10m fee for the Denmark international with a further £2m in add ons.

Norgaard has reportedly undergone a medical ahead of the move, with the deal expected to be officially announced in the coming days.

The 31-year-old will strengthen Mikel Arteta’s midfield with proven Premier League experience and leadership qualities.

He signed a new two-year deal at Brentford in March because he did not want to uproot his family amid serious interest from Benfica.
