Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Brentford captain Christian Norgaard, according to reports.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is looking for a potential replacement in midfield for Thomas Partey, whose contract expires next week, while Jorginho left the club earlier this month.

A fee of around £10million, with a possible further £5m in add-ons, has reportedly been agreed for Norgaard.

The 31-year-old Bees skipper, who moved to west London from Fiorentina in 2019, has played more than 120 Premier League games since helping Brentford to promotion in 2021.

He helped the club to a 10th-place top-flight finish last campaign in what turned out to be Thomas Frank’s last season as manager.

Norgaard was a member of the Denmark team that reached the semi-final of the European Championship in 2021, losing 2-1 to England at Wembley.
