Why Arsenal Want Norgaard – Partey’s Exit Looms
The Gunners are moving swiftly to secure Norgaard as Thomas Partey’s future remains uncertain. The 32-year-old Ghanaian midfielder is set to leave Arsenal when his contract expires next week, with clubs in Saudi Arabia and Europe showing interest.
Norgaard’s experience and leadership could provide immediate depth in Arsenal’s midfield, offering a defensive-minded alternative to Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard.
