The Denmark international’s signing, along with that of Martin Zubimendi, signals a potential change in approach from Arsenal. Both Norgaard and Zubimendi excel in progressing play through passes, which should, in theory, enable Arsenal to maximise the ball-carrying abilities from deeper positions of Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.

According to Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Paris Saint-Germain have joined the race to sign Rodrygo. The report claims Real Madrid would be willing to let the Brazilian join Luis Enrique's side so long as they receive Vitinha in return as part of a swap deal.

Rodrygo’s reported frustrations with Real Madrid hinge on a tactical demand which could define his next destination.
