Arsenal completed the signing of Christian Norgaard from Brentford on Thursday for a reported fee of up to 15 million pounds ($20 million).
The 31-year-old Denmark international has signed a two-year contract with the option of a further 12 months. He is Arsenal’s third signing of the offseason after midfielder Martin Zubimendi and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Midfielder Norgaard spent six years at Brentford after spells at Fiorentina, Brondby and Hamburg.
“He has been a consistent high performer in the Premier League and brings many qualities to our club,” said Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta. “He is a leader, and a player with high tactical intelligence and versatility who will have a very positive impact to the squad.”
Arsenal has been busy in the transfer market after finishing runner-up in the Premier League for a third straight season.
A top striker is also among manager Mikel Arteta’s targets.
Norgaard made 196 appearances for Brentford and scored 13 goals.
He said he was relishing the opportunity to play in the Champions League with Arsenal.
“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,” Norgaard said. “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.”

Úspěch českého vodního slalomu. Kajakář Kopeček se stal juniorským mistrem světa
Po semifinálových jízdách juniorských kajaků byli přitom trenéři lehce zaskočeni. „Pouze dvě lodě ve finále, po jedné v každé kategorii, jsme vnímali jako neúspěch,“ řekl na svazovém webu šéftrenér mládeže Pavel Foukal.Rozhodující jízdu ale oba čeští finalisté zvládli na výbornou. „Bára Ondráčková jako nejmladší členka výpravy ale jela finále jako ostřílená závodnice a jen 19 setin jí chybělo k titulu mistryně světa,“ řekl Foukal o patnáctileté svěřenkyni.Michal Kopecek (CZE) wins gold in the Junior Men's Kayak Slalom Final / 2025 ICF Kayak Slalom Junior & U23 World Championships 🥇 pic.twitter.com/gxG9EVDsE8— Everything canoe, kayak, and SUP (@PlanetCanoe) July 10, 2025 „Hrdinou dne je jednoznačně Michal Kopeček.

McIlroy in Scottish Open mix after late birdie burst
Rory McIlroy produced a brilliant late birdie burst to stay within four strokes of the lead after a low-scoring opening round at the Genesis Scottish Open. McIlroy birdied each of his last three holes to card a two-under 68 at the Renaissance Club, as four players shared the early lead at the event co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. Ryder Cup team-mate Sepp Straka carded a six-under 64 to top the leaderboard alongside Jake Knapp, Nico Echavarria and Victor Perez, with Scotland's Calum Hill and England's Marco Penge among the quartet a stroke back in tied-fifth.Viktor Hovland and former US Open champion Wyndham Clark were in the group two off the lead and world No 1 Scottie Scheffler opened with a three-under 67, as 32 players were separated by just three strokes after the opening day.McIlroy […]
Skandál v Rusku. Fotbalový klub vyloučili z ligy
„Ruská Premier League striktně dodržuje princip nulové tolerance vůči korupčním praktikám a jakýmkoliv pokusům ovlivňovat výsledky zápasů mimo hřiště. Ten, kdo porušil základní principy fotbalu jako férové hry, nemůže zůstat nepotrestán – ať už jde o rozhodčího, funkcionáře, trenéra, nebo hráče. V případě závažných porušení musí být potrestán celý klub, který se pokusil získat výhodu nelegálními prostředky,“ vysvětlil rozhodnutí disciplinární komise Ruského fotbalového svazu prezident nejvyšší soutěže Alexandr Alajev.Torpedo Moskva kromě vyloučení z Premier League musí zaplatit pokutu pět milionů rublů (přes 1,3 milionu korun). Majitel klubu Leonid Sobolev byl navíc vyloučen na pět let z jakékoliv fotbalové činnosti a bývalý generální ředitel klubu Valerij Skorodumov na deset let. Oběma navíc hrozí až sedm let vězení.V tuto chvíli není jasné, co bude s moskevským týmem nadále. Před čtvrtečním jednáním komise mluvil právník Torpeda, že hrozí i rozpuštění klubu.

Nuggets’ Cameron Johnson, Tim Hardaway Jr. explain why they’re excited to play with Nikola Jokić
The Denver Nuggets reloaded this summer. After falling in the second round of the playoffs to the eventual champion Oklahoma City Thunder, the Nuggets went out and positioned themselves as a serious threat to the Thunder repeating next season. They traded Michael Porter Jr. to the Brooklyn Nets for Cameron Johnson, then signed Tim Hardaway Jr. away from the Detroit Pistons, to add to their bench depth.Both acquisitions very clearly tell us what Denver's plans were for this summer: add more shooting. Hardaway is a microwave scorer, capable of racking up points in a hurry if he's got the hot hand, and the ideal spark plug to have off the bench for a team that ranked 27th in bench scoring last season. Johnson is the even better get here for the Nuggets, as someone who fits the mold of a […]
