The situation around Victor Gyokeres’ arrival in North London has become complicated in the last few days, so instead of the Swede, Arsenal signed his neighbour from Denmark.Brentford captain Christian Norgaard is the new Gunner in town, brought in to replace Jorginho, who had joined Flamengo. Considering that Thomas Partey also left the club, the 31-year-old will represent a significant reinforcement for Arsenal’s midfield.Bringing a wealth of experience.

In addition, his arrival is supposed to allow the Englishman to join the attack more often and contribute with his timely passes and powerful shots.What do you mean, there is a pattern there?Even though the Dane isn’t among the most popular names in the Premier League, his stats are very promising. Namely, he’s been among the top 50 players regarding won duels, among the leading 20 players in covered distances, and the second-best “ball-stealer” in the final third of the pitch, just behind Moises Caicedo.Finally, Norgaard has become the fourth Danish player at Arsenal after John Jensen (1992-1996), Nicklas Bendtner (2005-2014), and the little-known Sebastian Svard (2000-2006).##NAJAVA_MECA_9012212##
