Everton sign Norgaard from Arsenal for £7m — half last year's fee

Everton have signed Denmark midfielder Christian Norgaard from Arsenal on a two-year deal for around £7m. Arsenal paid Brentford £15m for the 32-year-old a year ago; he made 20 appearances, seven in the league, during their first title-winning season in 22 years. Everton, who also added Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough for £16.5m, needed midfield cover after James Garner's groin surgery.
