Everton have reached an agreement with Arsenal to sign experienced midfielder Christian Norgaard in a surprise summer transfer. The 32-year-old is expected to undergo a medical next week before completing a permanent move to David Moyes’ side.
The deal is still awaiting final paperwork, but both clubs have agreed on the main terms, with Everton set to add another experienced Premier League midfielder to their squad.
Norgaard Set for £7 Million Everton Move
According to reports, Everton will pay around £7 million to secure Norgaard’s signature. The Danish international joined Arsenal only last summer in a £10 million deal but is now on the verge of another Premier League switch.
Norgaard is expected to provide depth and experience in midfield alongside new arrival Hayden Hackney, while James Garner is also expected to play a key role under Moyes. He is set to become Everton’s fourth signing of the transfer window after Merlin Röhl, Hackney and Tyrique George.
Experienced Addition for David Moyes
Everton view Norgaard as a valuable replacement in midfield, bringing leadership and top-flight experience to the squad. His arrival gives Moyes another reliable option as the club prepares for the new Premier League campaign.
Despite strengthening the midfield, Everton are still expected to prioritise reinforcements at right-back and striker before the transfer window closes.
Focus Turns to More Summer Signings
With Norgaard’s move close to completion, Everton can now shift their attention to other key areas. A new right-back remains high on the club’s wishlist, while attacking reinforcements are also expected.
The Toffees have also been linked with Manchester United youngster Ethan Wheatley as they continue to strengthen both the first team and academy, making it clear that Everton’s summer business is far from finished.
