Everton signs Christian Norgaard from Arsenal on two-year deal

Everton has completed the signing of midfielder Christian Norgaard from Arsenal on a two-year contract, valued at £7 million. The 32-year-old Denmark international aims to bring leadership and reliability to Everton's midfield, especially after the departures of key players. Norgaard made 20 appearances for Arsenal last season, but he was not in the squad for a recent friendly, indicating his imminent exit. The move fits into manager David Moyes' strategy of blending experience with youth, following the signings of Hayden Hackney and Tyrique George. Norgaard expressed enthusiasm for joining Everton, believing the club is moving in the right direction.
