Arsenal have wasted little time in finding a replacement for Thomas Partey after failing to reach an agreement on a new contract with the Ghana midfielder.
Arsenal have swiftly secured Brentford captain Christian Norgaard in a deal worth £15 million, potentially rising to £20 million with add-ons after contract negotiations with Thomas Partey stalled.
Norgaard is set for a medical in London, with personal terms expected to be finalised soon. This transfer represents a significant opportunity for the 31-year-old Danish international, who has been instrumental in Brentford's Premier League success since joining in 2019.
While Arsenal haven't completely ruled out re-signing Partey, whose contract expires this month, the acquisition of Norgaard suggests a firm stance against excessive wage demands.

While Frank had hoped to bring Mbeumo to Spurs, the Cameroonian forward appears to prefer Old Trafford. Frank was also interested in Norgaard, having previously worked with him in the Danish youth setup and at Brondby.
