Christian Norgaard is reportedly on the verge of a transfer from Arsenal to Everton this summer, as confirmed by a report from The Times. The deal is expected to be around £7 million for the Denmark international, who faced challenges in securing regular playing time at Arsenal last season, logging just over 1000 minutes across all competitions.

Norgaard, a 32-year-old defensive midfielder, is eager for more playing opportunities at this stage of his career, making a move to Everton an ideal choice. The Toffees are also in need of increased quality and depth in their midfield, particularly to support James Garner.

Key points about Norgaard's potential impact at Everton:

• Experience: A former key player for Brentford, he aims to regain his form and confidence.
• Control and Composure: His presence in the midfield will bolster Everton's defensive efforts and overall gameplay.
• Leadership: Manager David Moyes is looking for more experience within his squad, and Norgaard fits the bill.

Everton hopes that Norgaard's arrival will aid in their pursuit of a respectable finish in the upcoming season, as they seek quality players to enhance their roster.

On the other hand, Arsenal is set to welcome Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United, making it increasingly difficult for Norgaard to find a spot in the starting lineup. Given his struggles last season, this transfer could be a crucial step for him to regain regular playing time.
