Arsenal consider move for Premier League midfielder to replace Thomas Partey
Arsenal are reportedly targeting a midfield overhaul this summer, with Thomas Partey set to leave at the end of his contract.
Mikel Arteta and the club hierarchy are already lining up potential replacements.
The Gunners could have a complete makeover in the midfield this summer. Due to Thomas Partey’s likely departure and the exit of Jorginho this summer, Arteta’s side would need new additions in the midfield.
The Premier League giants have already agreed a deal to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad but they need more cover in the holding midfield position.
Arsenal identify Brentford’s Norgaard as their target
Arsenal are considering a potential move for Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard during the ongoing summer transfer window, according to The Mirror.
The 31-year-old Denmark international, who signed a new contract with Brentford earlier this year, still has two years remaining on his current deal, but could become a realistic target should the Gunners seek experienced reinforcements in the middle of the park.
A commanding presence at the base of midfield, his leadership and defensive acumen has been crucial for Brentford in the Premier League.
He has become one of the most reliable holding midfielders outside the traditional top-six clubs, earning widespread praise for his positional awareness and ball-winning ability.
Gunners need experience in the middle
Norgaard may not be the marquee signing fans often crave, his addition could bring valuable balance to a squad aiming to compete on multiple fronts, including the Champions League.
He would offer competition for places, cover in defensive midfield, and bring a wealth of top-flight and international experience.
Whether Brentford would be open to selling such an influential figure remains to be seen, but Arsenal’s interest could turn the player’s head this summer.
The Gunners are also monitoring Chelsea winger Noni Madueke this summer as Arteta looks to add depth to his squad.
