Arsenal considering shock transfer for Premier League star to replace Thomas Partey despite closing in on deal to sign Martin Zubimendi

<p>Per the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/arsenal-transfer-thomas-partey-replacement-35429035" target="_blank"><em>Mirror</em></a>, Arsenal are keen on signing Brentford captain Norgaard as they look to replace Thomas Partey. <em>ESPN </em>reported earlier this week that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/thomas-partey-arsenal-exit-contract-negotiations-ghana-international-barcelona-atletico-madrid/blt42e35e60232dc9d6#cs9ddf37c933263b5b" target="_blank">Partey’s time at Emirates Stadium appears to be drawing to a close</a>, with the Ghanaian midfielder reportedly set to depart the north London club at the end of the month after a breakdown in contract renewal discussions.   </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>With Partey and Jorginho out of the club, the Gunners are looking to bolster their midfield and have identified Norgaard as their number one choice. The Denmark international, who signed a fresh Bees contract in March this year, still has two years left in his existing deal, which means the club are likely to demand a hefty fee.  </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The Gunners have already sealed a transfer for Real Sociedad star Zubimendi, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/martin-zubimendi-real-sociedad-london-52m-arsenal-real-madrid-hijack/bltd7b86bfa765a5a96#csc12b9a9aeac0bd93" target="_blank">arrived in London on Friday to complete his move</a>. The English giants successfully fended off competition from Real Madrid to seal a move for the Spaniard.  </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Arteta's side will reassemble in late July and are scheduled to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-pre-season-2025-tour-fixtures-results-tickets-watch/blta94b446e92c8cc1d#cs632a6b94d28527c7" target="_blank">travel to Singapore and Hong Kong for their pre-season tour</a>.  </p>
