Arsenal new boy announces Gunners move ‘an amazing step to take’

ARSENAL new boy Christian Norgaard has lifted the lid on his start to life at the club after making the decision to leave Brentford and make the step up to play for the Gunners for the next few seasons.

The Denmark international had been with Brentford since signing from Fiorentina in 2019, with spells earlier in his career with Hamburg and Brondby, but he has really impressed over the past 12 months.

The 31-year-old has completed his move from Brentford to the Emirates earlier this month, and after being at the club for the past few weeks, he ha snow opened up and revealed how has settled in.

He told club media: “I’ve been able to be with the team from day one of pre-season and it’s benefited me a lot.

“I’m much further down the line now in terms of the integration of play than I would have been if I joined now.

“So it’s been fantastic so far. It’s such a good group, such a good group of staff and the whole team around has made everything very easy.

“I’m realistic, of course. I know this is a step up in terms of quality, size of club. But I’m also here to contribute, otherwise I wouldn’t have made the move.

“But I also know that there are some of the best players in the world in my position here, so it will be competitive. There’s the things you see in the weekend on the pitch, but there’s a lot of other things going on around the football team, and I hope I can really help this team both on and off the pitch.

“There’s a lot of competition, but for me, it was a chance to represent Arsenal at the age of 31. I was coming to a later stage in my career and I signed a new deal with Brentford.

“But when the interest came from ARSENAL and after my first talks with Mikel, it was very clear to me that I would do everything to be able to play here.

“To get this adventure, to be part of a team that has such big ambitions, is for me an amazing step to take this stage in my career.”
