Breaking up play, making interceptions and dominating midfields are just some of the well-documented qualities of Christian Norgaard, but there's a unique Premier League record the Danish international holds.

Arsenal have announced that midfielder Christian Norgaard has signed for the club from Premier League side Brentford.

The Danish international joins Mikel Arteta’s ranks to provide some much-needed competition and experience in midfield following summer departures. Norgaard will wear number 16 at Arsenal, following in the footsteps of Aaron Ramsey but the new signing has named a fan favourite as his all time favourite player at the club.

Arsenal football chief Andrea Berta admits Christian Norgaard's leadership skills were a key reason for bringing him in from Brentford.
