Christian Norgaard came to Arsenal with huge question marks from all sides. What does the Gunners need in a 31 -year -old player who was badly criticized in Serie A? But calm down, save the criticism for Norgaard because it is not always mine!
In each transfer window, the stars signed a record contract with the club in the warm welcome that, in the next few days, it felt like you never escape those news.
And then there are silent deals, with a relatively low fee or even in the form of free transfer, only as a choice on the bench, but they shine and go into the club history.
This summer, Arsenal fans welcomed Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad with a 5 -year contract with a fee of about 65 million euros (56.5 million pounds). After months of waiting, there was definitely a relief when everything was finally signed. However, in the position of Zubimendi, there was a player who signed a contract just a few days later and promised to exceed the expectation: Christian Norgaard, who moved from Brentford for an initial fee of only £ 10 million.
Norgaard is like a promotional gift, but with his experience in the Premier League since his years as captain Brentford, this is a low -risk deal
