Everton have signed midfielder Christian Norgaard from Arsenal on a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee. I thought there were so many good players in the team and Everton was so difficult to play against." Norgaard previously spent six years at Brentford and became a key player for the Bees, captaining the side and making 196 appearances. Midfielder James Garner, 25, is also set to miss the start of the new season after the England international had groin surgery last month. Everton start their Premier League season against Crystal Palace at home on Saturday, 22 August.
