Arsenal will pay £10m up front with a further £5m due in bonuses.

Norgaard, 31, lands his dream move with Arsenal and Thomas Partey failing to reach terms over a new contract. The Ghana international will leave the Gunners next week when his deal expires.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta settled on Norgaard as he wanted a "Premier League-ready" replacement for Partey.

Brentford originally signed Norgaard in 2019.
