Crystal Palace plotting smart move for experienced Arsenal leader

Christian Norgaard has struggled for regular opportunities at Arsenal since joining the club, and he might need to leave in order to play more often.

According to Sports Boom, Crystal Palace is prepared to provide him with an exit route. The player is surplus to requirements at Arsenal, and they are unlikely to stand in his way.

The midfielder will look to get his career back on track with regular opportunities, and joining the Eagles would be ideal. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can finalise a deal.

Crystal Palace need more quality in the middle of the park, and the 32-year-old would be a short-term acquisition. Apart from his quality, he is a leader, and he could prove to be an excellent addition to the Crystal Palace dressing room. They will be competing in Europe next season, and Norgaard could prove to be a very handy option for them on and off the pitch.

The opportunity to compete at a high-level will be exciting for the Danish midfielder as well. Meanwhile, he has also been linked with a return to his former club Brondby.

It remains to be seen what the player decides. He has shown his quality consistently in the Premier League with Brentford. There is no doubt that he has the ability to succeed at Crystal Palace as well. Perhaps staying in the Premier League with the Eagles for now would be ideal. He will have plenty of opportunities to return to his homeland and play for his boyhood club in future. He is still at the peak of his career, and he could make a useful contribution at the London club.
