"Christian Norgaard arrived from Brentford for £10m last summer but has yet to start a Premier League game due to the form of Martin Zubimendi and is looking to move."
"Zubimendi has been one of the best signings of the Premier League this season, with the Spain international midfielder establishing himself as one of the first names on Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta's teamsheet. The 27-year-old has scored six goals and given three assists in 38 appearances."
"When asked about the most surprising deal of the 2025 summer transfer window, an agent told The Athletic in October 2025: 'Christian Norgaard to Arsenal - he just doesn't fit into Arsenal's style.'"
Christian Norgaard, Arsenal's summer signing from Brentford for £10 million, plans to depart the club at the end of the season. The 31-year-old Danish defensive midfielder has struggled to establish himself, making only 14 appearances and failing to start a single Premier League match. Martin Zubimendi's exceptional form has solidified his position as Arsenal's primary midfielder, leaving Norgaard as a peripheral figure. Despite his contract extending until summer 2027 with an optional additional year, Norgaard seeks regular playing time elsewhere. Arsenal's decision to sign him was questioned by agents, with concerns about his fit within the club's tactical system and age.
