Mikkel Damsgaard has acknowledged his surprise at Christian Norgaard’s transfer to Arsenal during the summer window, while also emphasising that the midfielder fully earned the move. Arsenal secured Norgaard’s services following the departure of Thomas Partey, with contract negotiations between the Ghanaian and the club failing to reach an agreement.
Arsenal’s ambition for the 2025 to 2026 campaign is clear, with the club determined to assemble a squad capable of competing at the highest level. Norgaard has been identified as one of the standout players in the league, and his arrival is expected to bolster the team’s midfield options, particularly following the loss of Jorginho. The club valued Norgaard’s extensive experience and consistent performances, making him a strategic acquisition for the season ahead.
Damsgaard Reflects on Midfield Departure
Damsgaard, who has shared the pitch with Norgaard both at club and international level, expressed that he would have preferred to continue playing alongside him. The transfer now means the pair will be on opposing sides when their clubs meet. Speaking to Tipsbladet, the former Serie A forward said, “Yes, you could say that it was a bit surprising. He really deserved it with how he played last season. I don’t know if it’s an underrated signing, but I really think it’s a really good signing for Arsenal. He’s a player who just has a lot of quality and works really hard.”
His comments highlight the respect and admiration Damsgaard holds for his former teammate, recognising not only Norgaard’s technical skills but also his strong work ethic and dedication on the pitch.
Opportunity at a Top Club
Arsenal’s acquisition of Norgaard marks a significant milestone in the midfielder’s career. Having impressed at Brentford in recent seasons, he now has the opportunity to compete for honours with one of the Premier League’s leading clubs. This move offers him the rare chance to make a lasting impact at an elite level, something he will be eager to achieve.
While Damsgaard may miss playing alongside him, both players will now be focused on their respective clubs’ ambitions. For Norgaard, the upcoming season presents the perfect platform to showcase his quality on a bigger stage and to contribute meaningfully to Arsenal’s pursuit of success.
