Christian Norgaard is a 31-year-old Danish player who has been a key player for Brentford since joining the club from Fiorentina in 2019. He became the team's captain in 2023 and has played a crucial role in their success. Last season, Norgaard played 34 Premier League games, scoring five goals and providing four assists.

Norgaard was set to leave Brentford as a free agent in March but decided to sign a new two-year deal. Now, he is likely to replace Partey in the team, a move that could be a strategic decision by manager Mikel Arteta. This development has been confirmed by a journalist, who stated that Arsenal has activated options to replace Partey with Norgaard.
