Join us on the Cannon Stats Podcast as we dive into Arsenal’s imminent signing of Brentford captain Christian Nørgaard for something in the range of £10m-£15m. In this episode, hosts Scott and Adam unpack the transfer’s implications, Thomas Partey’s looming exit, and whether the Gunners’ squad is stronger for it.
This is obviously the big news of the day and it is complimented nicely by the written content that Adam and Scott have done already on this.
