Norgaard opens up on ‘fantastic’ start to life with Arsenal
Arsenal new boy Christian Norgaard has lifted the lid on his start to life at the club after joining from Brentford.
He told club media: “I’ve been able to be with the team from day one of pre-season and it’s benefited me a lot.
“I’m much further down the line now in terms of the integration of play than I would have been if I joined now.
“So it’s been fantastic so far. It’s such a good group, such a good group of staff and the whole team around has made everything very easy.
“I’m realistic, of course. I know this is a step up in terms of quality, size of club. But I’m also here to contribute, otherwise I wouldn’t have made the move.
“But I also know that there are some of the best players in the world in my position here, so it will be competitive. There’s the things you see in the weekend on the pitch, but there’s a lot of other things going on around the football team, and I hope I can really help this team both on and off the pitch.
“There’s a lot of competition, but for me, it was a chance to represent Arsenal at the age of 31. I was coming to a later stage in my career and I signed a new deal with Brentford.
“But when the interest came from Arsenal and after my first talks with Mikel, it was very clear to me that I would do everything to be able to play here.
“To get this adventure, to be part of a team that has such big ambitions, is for me an amazing step to take this stage in my career.”
