Reports from the Dutch media have suggested that Ajax are eyeing up a move for Arsenal midfielder Christian Norgaard. It would be a surprising deal, considering the Dane only joined in the summer.

He has since played down any talk of a move, telling the press: “I am really, really happy here. The message that I get from the club is that they are really [happy] as well. So, for me, it is a mutual relationship that right now is working really good.

“It is developing. It is a learning curve for me as well. I need to also improve and show the tactics that Mikel is showing are getting under my skin.

“Hopefully coming into the last part of the season I can contribute more on the pitch.”
