New sources have confirmed that Christian Norgaard’s Everton medical is set to take place today, with the player leaving Arsenal for around £7m.
Following rumours on social media on Monday, Simon Jones confirms for the Daily Mail that Christian Norgaard’s Everton medical is expected to take place today.
James McNicholas writes for The Athletic that the medical tests will take place soon, so it’s seemingly just a matter of time until the player completes his exit, a little over a year after joining.
David Ornstein previously confirmed for the same outlet that Everton and Arsenal have agreed a fee in the region of £7m.
Norgaard joined Arsenal last July for £10m, plus £2m in add-ons, signing a two-year deal with the option of a third. So a £7m sale isn’t bad business, for a player who is now a year older and technically in the final 12 months of his contract.
Norgaard was in attendance for Arsenal’s friendly match against Girona on Saturday, but it was notable that he didn’t make the squad for the game. Presumably, Mikel Arteta didn’t want to risk an injury given the player’s likely imminent transfer.
It’s been reported all summer that Arsenal were willing to listen to bids for Norgaard, with Crystal Palace also among the clubs interested in signing him.
Though Norgaard only joined Arsenal in 2025, his limited minutes meant a departure was always on the table. The Danish midfielder played just 1,040 minutes, the equivalent of fewer than 12 full matches. For a 63-game Arsenal season, that’s not a lot.
Norgaard became a Premier League winner in his first season with the Gunners, as well as making his first appearances in the Champions League.
But after retiring from international football with Denmark, he’ll want to ensure he’s playing for his club in 2026/27.
