Tottenham Hotspur have joined the race to sign Christian Norgaard from Brentford during the summer transfer window, and they face competition from their rivals Arsenal.
The 31-year-old midfielder will add experience and quality to the Tottenham midfield if they can get the deal done. According to a report from The Standard, the two clubs are hoping to finalise the deal.
Spurs move could be tempting
Norgaard has shown his quality with Brentford, and he has the ability to take the next step in his career and join a bigger club. Arsenal and Tottenham will be able to provide him with the opportunity to showcase his qualities in the UEFA Champions League next season.
It could be an interesting opportunity for him, and the player could be attracted to the idea of joining either club.
Meanwhile, the report claims that Thomas Frank wants a reunion with the 31-year-old midfielder. Norgaard has played under the Tottenham manager since his youth level, and the opportunity to reunite with Frank could be hard to turn down for him.
Tottenham could use Christian Norgaard
Tottenham need more depth in the middle of the park, and the 31-year-old will add leadership and experience to the side. He has been an indispensable asset for Frank at Brentford, and he could reprise that role at Tottenham as well.
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal can convince the player to join them instead. Tottenham certainly have an advantage in the race because of Frank.
It remains to be seen whether Brentford are prepared to sanction the departure of a key player. They have already lost their manager, and they are likely to lose Bryan Mbeumo as well. They will not want too many changes in one window.
