Everton sign Christian Norgaard from Arsenal for £7m

Everton have completed the signing of midfielder Christian Norgaard from Arsenal, adding a veteran presence to their squad as manager David Moyes aims to end the club's five-year run outside the Premier League's top half. The 32-year-old Danish international, who won a league title with Arsenal last season, has signed a two-year contract with the Merseyside club.

The transfer, confirmed on August 5, 2026, was completed for a reported fee of 7 million pounds. Norgaard becomes Everton's fourth signing of the summer transfer window, following the arrivals of Merlin Röhl, Tyrique George, and Hayden Hackney.

In his first comments as an Everton player, Norgaard expressed enthusiasm for the move, citing a desire for a larger playing role and a positive impression of the club's project. He said he felt he needed a change and to play a bigger football role. After speaking with David Moyes and others at the club involved in the transfer, he heard about the whole project and was very intrigued. Norgaard also highlighted the atmosphere created by Everton supporters, recalling past matches where he felt the ground was shaking at Goodison Park and praising the atmosphere at the club's new stadium.
