According to reliable journalist David Ornstein, Arsenal has submitted an official offer to Brentford to sign Danish midfielder Christian Norgaard.

The source added that Arsenal's offer is valued at £11 million, while Brentford is asking for more money to part ways with the 31-year-old player.

Arsenal's desire to sign Norgaard comes to compensate for Thomas Partey, who is set to leave the Gunners this summer on a free transfer.

The source indicated that the player has shown openness to the idea of moving to the Emirates Stadium, while negotiations between the two clubs are still ongoing to reach a final agreement.

Norgaard is considered one of the standout midfielders in the Premier League in recent seasons and is viewed as an ideal option to strengthen the team's central pivot under the leadership of Mikel Arteta.
