Transfer: Why I joined Arsenal at 31 – Norgaard
New Arsenal midfielder, Christian Norgaard, has admitted the lure of Champions League football is why he left Brentford.
Norgaard has been officially unveiled by the Gunners on Friday.
The two Premier League clubs have agreed a deal that could worth up to £15m.
Norgaard is believed to have signed a two-year contract with the option of a third.
He said: “I’ve just turned 31 and had signed a new deal with Brentford.
“Of course, there’s always a little chance that a miracle could happen with Brentford, but it was probably unrealistic to play Champions League with them.
“Now, I get to hear the anthem and be a part of a Champions League campaign. It’s a childhood dream and something I didn’t think would be possible.”
