WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Norgaard spent six years at Brentford, playing a crucial role in helping the club cement its place in the Premier League after their 2021 promotion from the Championship. The Danish international was a consistent presence last season, starting 34 matches. In total, he made 196 appearances for the west London side during his time at the club.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.arsenal.com/news/norgaard-making-dream-come-true" target="_blank">Arsenal's club media</a>, Norgaard revealed that his move to Arsenal also stemmed from his dream of playing the Champions League. The Dane said: “You can get almost emotional because maybe it was a dream that I've given a little bit up on coming towards the later stage in my career.</p><p>“I've just turned 31 and had signed a new deal with Brentford. Of course, there's always a little chance that a miracle could happen with Brentford, but it was probably unrealistic to play Champions League with them.</p><p>“Now, I get to hear the anthem and be a part of a Champions League campaign. It's a childhood dream and something I didn't think would be possible. So it's something I'm really, really happy about.”</p>

WHAT NORGAARD SAID

<p>Arsenal have officially begun their pre-season training for the 2025/26 season on July 15. It is likely that Norgaard will be able to participate with the first team starting tomorrow, and will have some time to gel with the squad before they begin their Asian pre-season tour.</p>
