**Official since 5 August — logged here on 14/08.** Arsenal.com and Everton announced Nørgaard's permanent transfer on 5 August; David Ornstein (The Athletic) had broken the agreement in principle days earlier, at around £7m (≈€8m). The player said he wanted "a change and a bigger football role", while Mikel Arteta praised his "tremendous role" and called him the squad's glue. Two-year deal at Everton.
