The sporting director of Brentford has revealed that advanced negotiations are underway with Arsenal regarding the transfer of Danish midfielder Christian Norgaard during the summer transfer window.

The official stated in his remarks that Arsenal began communicating with them two weeks ago to discuss the possibility of signing Norgaard, noting that the likelihood of completing the deal is currently the highest, pending the finalization of all details and conditions.

The sporting director praised Norgaard's performance with the team, affirming that he has been a fantastic and influential player during his time, expressing his happiness in granting him the opportunity to move to a big club like Arsenal at the age of 31 and compete for titles.

He concluded his remarks by emphasizing that the negotiations have not yet reached their conclusion, pointing out that Brentford will need to look for a suitable replacement to compensate for Norgaard's departure, who has played 196 official matches with the team, scoring 13 goals and providing 18 assists.
