Report: Arsenal target surprise Premier League midfielder
Arsenal Eye Brentford Skipper as Partey Successor – Could Norgaard Be the Answer? Midfield Overhaul Underway at Arsenal Arsenal's midfield rebuild is gaining momentum this summer, with significant changes on the cards. Martin Zubimendi's arrival from Real Sociedad is all but confirmed, but the exits of Jorginho and Thomas Partey have left a glaring void at the base of midfield. Advertisement As reported by The Mirror, the Gunners are now exploring a surprise option: Brentford's Christian Norgaard. The 31-year-old Dane has emerged as a potential target, with Arsenal considering a move to bolster their depth and experience in central midfield. With two years remaining on his contract and Brentford open to business under the right conditions, a deal could be feasible—especially if Norgaard fancies one last big step in his career. Norgaard's Experience Could Prove Valuable Since joining Brentford in 2019, Norgaard has been a cornerstone of the club's rise and resilience in the Premier League. A composed and intelligent operator, he helped the Bees secure top-flight survival for five consecutive seasons. Last term, he made 34 appearances under Thomas Frank and continued to feature regularly for Denmark. 'The Bees captain has been integral to the club securing five straight seasons of Premier League football,' wrote The Mirror. At 31, Norgaard might not fit the usual Arsenal recruitment profile, but in a squad now lighter in midfield experience, he could provide crucial balance. Departures Spark Urgency in Midfield Reinforcement With Jorginho having already joined Flamengo and Partey expected to leave at the end of his contract, Mikel Arteta must act decisively. Partey's influence was substantial—he featured 52 times in all competitions last season. Losing both him and Jorginho without adequate replacements would leave the Gunners exposed. Photo IMAGO Advertisement Arsenal will hope Zubimendi can transition quickly to English football, but banking solely on him and Declan Rice would be risky. A steady, low-cost option like Norgaard, who understands the Premier League's physical and tactical demands, could be ideal cover. Value Over Flash: A Smart Squad Addition? While not the headline-grabbing name fans may crave, Norgaard offers a sensible mix of experience, defensive reliability, and leadership. As The Mirror notes, 'if Arsenal made a move and Norgaard was interested in a final big move… then the Bees may allow him to exit for a cut-price fee.' In a market inflated by PSR constraints, this type of opportunistic move could prove shrewd. Arsenal's long-term ambitions require both squad depth and quality, and Norgaard ticks several of those boxes. Our View – EPL Index Analysis From an Arsenal supporter's point of view, the link to Christian Norgaard is a curveball—but not an entirely unwelcome one. On paper, it may seem underwhelming compared to the likes of Zubimendi or the big-money targets often discussed. But dig a little deeper, and there's a logic to it. Advertisement First, Mikel Arteta has shown he values tactical intelligence and positional discipline—traits Norgaard brings in spades. At Brentford, he was the anchor that allowed their dynamic forwards and wing-backs to flourish. He reads danger well, breaks up play, and recycles possession efficiently—traits that would benefit Arsenal, especially in games where control is key. His age could be a sticking point for some fans, especially given the club's focus on youth. But if Norgaard is available for a modest fee, he represents a risk-free option with immediate utility. He wouldn't block the development of players like Rice or Zubimendi, but rather provide mentoring and rotation. Of course, whether Brentford would sell to a London rival, and whether Norgaard himself would accept a role that may not guarantee week-in, week-out starts, remains to be seen. But as far as experienced cover goes, this is a move that could make sense—especially in a season where Arsenal aim to challenge on multiple fronts again.

The 24 year old has been one of the League One team's standout players this season and played a crucial role in them reaching the playoff final. They would sadly go on to lose 0-1 to Charlton Athletic. Galbraith scored six goals and provided eight assists in 51 games for Orient this season as he was an ever-present in their line-up. The Northern Ireland international's fine form has been recognised by Championship sides and Sheffield United and Swansea City have both been linked to the player in recent days. Advertisement The News Letter reports that 'League One outfit Huddersfield Town are the latest club to have a £1.5 million bid rejected for Northern Ireland star Ethan Galbraith.' The player is in high-demand as Charlton reportedly had a £1.5 million bid rejected last weekend for him. Leyton Orient's manager Richie Wellens has been full of praise for the former United man lately. He claimed that Galbraith 'is a Premier League player in the making and younger players who watch him can see how strong he is in his running. He's unbelievable and he's brilliant.' Wellens also stated that, 'we've got loads of young players that should be watching him and going 'he's intense there, he's always running, he's always at it'.' Advertisement Therefore, it will be interesting to see how long Leyton Orient can hold on to their rising star. The pressure to sell is only intensified by the fact that he has one year remaining on his current deal at Brisbane Road. Follow us on Bluesky: @
