Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Arsenal have made a bid for Brentford midfielder Christian Nørgaard. Arsenal have made an offer worth €11 million for Nørgaard, which is exactly what Transfermark believes he is worth.

Transfer hournalist Nicolò Schira confirms the talks and reports that Nørgaard has already agreed on personal terms with Arsenal.
Will Nørgaard join Arsenal?
Tottenham are also interested in signing the Brentford captain.
Spurs have hired former Brentford manager Thomas Frank as their new manager after Ange Postecoglou was sacked, and the Danish coach is eager to work with Nørgaard again. Tottenham’s interest stretches back further than the hiring of Thomas Frank, at least back to 2023.
FootballTransfers wrote in November 2023 that Tottenham were big admirers of the midfield general. The fact that Nørgaard is now two years older is no problem for Spurs, who want to add some experience to their midfield ahead of their Champions League campaign.
Nørgaard has been Brentford’s captain since 2023 and was almost always on the pitch when he was injury-free. In the just concluded season, he made 34 Premier League appearances and contributed a respectable five goals and four assists.
The 35-cap-strong Dane has shown that he can perform at a solid Premier League level, and he will undoubtedly be a valuable reinforcement for either Arsenal or Tottenham.
