Tottenham are not expected to sign Christian Norgaard from Brentford as he’s expected to join Arsenal this summer.
However, Thomas Frank is still understood to be keen on signing a new midfielder.
While a reunion with Norgaard is not on the cards in North London, Spurs are stepping up their search for an alternative.

Dr Rajpal Brar, an injury expert, has gauged the 19-year-old midfielder’s lateral meniscus injury from last season ahead of a potential medical.

Spurs made an offer for Froholdt last summer, but it was rejected by the Danish side.
Discussing the state of play with Froholdt exclusively with Tottenham News, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, shared his verdict.
“Spurs may take a closer look at his knee and see if there’s any increased wear and tear from the lateral meniscus injury,” he said.
“That said, it was a year ago and it did not keep him out for too long either.
“I see no issues with him clearing his medical, but his minutes may need to be monitored initially, given his age and a new league.”
Spurs should pursue Froholdt’s services in the coming weeks
Froholdt is an ideal signing for Tottenham, aligning perfectly with their strategy of acquiring young, high-potential talents.
With 61 senior appearances, eight goals and six assists, his versatility as a box-to-box midfielder who can also play on the flanks adds depth and flexibility to Spurs’ squad.
As Norgaard is set for Arsenal, his compatriot is undoubtedly a good alternative to consider.
His stamina, technical ability and defensive awareness make him a promising long-term investment.
Tottenham’s recent successes with young stars like Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray reflect their commitment to nurturing talent, and Froholdt’s potential to develop into a key player under Frank’s guidance fits this model, enhancing Spurs’ midfield for the Premier League and Champions League.
