Danish footballer; defensive midfielder/centre back at Arsenal
Everton are negotiating to sign Denmark midfielder Christian Nørgård from Arsenal for around £7m, aiming to strengthen their midfield amid departures and injuries. Arsenal’s 2025-26 title win has left Nørgård seeking regular football, while Everton have also recruited Hackney and George to bolster the squad.
Everton has failed to sign Folarin Balogun after a late medical issue forced the Monaco deal to collapse, leaving the club with few options up front as the transfer window closes. The club has retooled with a loan for Jack Grealish and signings at right-back, but fan anger and questions over leadership loom.
