Everton's midfield rebuild continues at pace, with the club reportedly closing in on a deal for Arsenal's Christian Norgaard.
According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Everton have reached an agreement worth around £7million for the Danish midfielder, who has struggled for regular game time at the Emirates. The move would offer Norgaard a fresh start on Merseyside, where he could slot into a rebuilt engine room under David Moyes.
Norgaard arrived at Arsenal with a solid reputation for his defensive work and composure in possession, but opportunities have been limited since his switch from Brentford. Everton, by contrast, appear ready to hand him a central role as they look to add steel and experience to their midfield options this summer.
While the fee reported by Ornstein suggests the two clubs are closing in on final terms, the deal is not yet officially confirmed. Should it go through, it would mark another shrewd, value-driven addition as Everton continue reshaping their squad with purpose under their current recruitment strategy.
