Arsenal is reportedly set to submit a bid of €11 million for Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard as negotiations between the two clubs get underway.
Jorginho has already announced his departure from the Emirates Stadium, and Thomas Partey is also expected to exit once his contract expires, with discussions between him and the club having stalled.
This situation leaves manager Mikel Arteta in search of an experienced midfielder capable of uniting his squad, which clarifies his interest in securing the Brentford captain this summer.
Although the transfer talks have been making headlines for the past week, it was The Athletic reporter David Ornstein who confirmed on Wednesday morning that the deal is progressing.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano quickly followed suit, also affirming the negotiations, which have left many Arsenal fans puzzled, even though Norgaard would bring a wealth of experience to the North London team.
Earlier this month, Frank transitioned across the city to take on the head coaching role at Tottenham Hotspur, sparking speculation that the Danish international might follow him there.
However, the 31-year-old appears poised to join Arteta at Arsenal, who is also anticipated to announce the signing of Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad in the coming days as the Gunners seek to revamp their midfield.
