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

Arsenal have 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 additional payments.

The Gunners confirmed the news on Thursday morning, with the Dane becoming Mikel Arteta's latest summer signing.

The 31-year-old will strengthen their midfield and brings proven Premier League experience and leadership qualities.

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